An in vivo base editing approach targeting the PRNP gene led to a 52% increase in the lifespan of mouse models inoculated with the most common sporadic and genetic types of human pathogenic prion ...

Some genes are beneficial and enhance longevity. For example, the gene that helps a person metabolize cholesterol would reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Some gene mutations are inherited.

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule, but this isn't performed by the DNA itself. Instead, the information is relayed to cellular machinery by a molecule called messenger RNA.
