Genotype profiles of loci encoding DNA repair enzymes in newborn and elderly populations: no evidence of association with longevity.

Abstract excerpt

The comparison of genotype frequencies between neonates and elderly populations can aid in the identification of loci, and polymorphisms within those loci, that affect longevity. Here we have compared genotype frequencies of seven polymorphisms at four loci involved in DNA repair between a cohort of newborns (n = 290) and a retired population (average age at sampling 70.02 years; n = 430) who have suffered a...
