Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in genes encoding tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 were previously shown to affect mortality. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the functional promoter regions of TNF-α (G308A) and IL-6 (G174C) are among the most widely studied. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether TNF-α G308A and IL-6 G174C SNPs confer susceptibility to longevity, we performed a meta-analysis to...
