The role of genetic variants in human longevity.

Ageing research reviews - 1 Nov 2010

Chung Wen-Hung, Dao Ro-Lan, Chen Liang-Kung, Hung Shuen-Iu

Abstract excerpt

Human longevity is a complex phenotype with a strong genetic predisposition. Increasing evidence has revealed the genetic antecedents of human longevity. This article aims to review the data of various case/control association studies that examine the difference in genetic polymorphisms between long-lived people and younger subjects across different human populations. There are more than 100 candidate genes...
