I would expect gene therapy to be the most likely field to have a major breakthrough in this area. The cost of genome sequencing has been falling rapidly. Although finding associations between genetic disorders and aging might be useless today, they could become quite critical in 10 years. That's where I would focus your search.
Quite possibly, see the work of Maria Konovalenko in this area. However, this is not an easy path and is far, far more dependent on technology to safely introduce genes to cells within tissues in the body than knowledge of which genes to target. Consider that there are many diseases for which the causative genes have been known for some time, yet this has not yet been used successfully for almost all of them.
That technology pretty much exists already, its just extremely under-advertised for various reasons.
