LongevityMap variant
- Longevity Association
- Significant
- Population
- Italian
- Study Design
- Three most common alleles of the APOE gene were examined in three cohorts (Spanish, Italian and Japanese) to study their association with longevity.
- Conclusions
- E4 allele was negatively associated with longevity in three cohorts, while the E2 allele was positively associated in Italian and Japanese cohorts.

- Common name
- dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase
- Description
- This gene encodes a member of the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. In homodimeric form, the encoded protein functions as a dehydrogenase and is found in several multi-enzyme complexes that regulate energy metabolism. However, as a monomer, this protein can function as a protease. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with E3-deficient maple syrup urine disease and lipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
