The FOX Gene Family: Unlocking the Keys to Longevity, Disease, and Cellular Health
The FOX (Forkhead Box) gene family is a critical group of genes that influence diverse biological processes, including cellular development, metabolism, stress resistance, and longevity. With over 40 FOX genes identified in humans, each plays unique roles in maintaining health and preventing disease [ R ]. Among these, FOXO genes (FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, and FOXO6) have garnered significant attention due to their association with aging, cancer resistance, and metabolic health.

TP53: The Guardian of the Genome and Its SNP Variations
The TP53 gene, often referred to as the "guardian of the genome," plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular integrity by regulating the cell cycle, promoting DNA repair, and initiating apoptosis in response to genomic damage. As one of the most studied genes in human biology, TP53 is fundamental to preventing cancer and is implicated in numerous diseases when mutated or dysregulated [ 1 ]. Structure and Function of TP53 Located on chromosome 17 (17p13.1), TP53 encodes the
