I don't want to do a copypasta job, so I'll just say google "Methuselah" and FOX03 to read more about it. It is one of the genes associated with resistance to aging and looking younger than your age. I found out how to check your DNA tests to see if you have the gene.
I don't know how to do it on the other test companies, but I have 23andme and for that one go to your profile and click to go to "browse raw data". On the search box type in "rs2764264" and search for it. If it pulls up on your raw data, congrats you have one of the known "Methuselah" genes which give you greater resistance to aging.

"rs7412" and
