We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of human extreme longevity (EL), defined as surviving past the 99th survival percentile, by aggregating data from four centenarian studies.

The analysis identified a locus in CDKN2B-AS1 (rs6475609, p = 7.13 × 10-8) that almost reached genome-wide significance and four additional loci that were...
