LongevityMap variant

Entry Details

Longevity Association
Non-significant
Population
American of Japanese origin
Study Design
Nested case-control design was used in 213 longevity phenotype subjects (80-93 y, 85.6±3.1) and 402 controls (71-79 y, 74.6±2.1) to identify the association between genetic variation in insulin/IGF-1 signaling genes and longevity
Conclusions
No association was found between genetic variation in any of the tested genes and longevity in American men of Japanese ancestry

Gene details

HGNC symbol
EXO1
Aliases
HEX1; hExoI 
Common name
exonuclease 1 
Description
This gene encodes a protein with 5' to 3' exonuclease activity as well as an RNase H activity. It is similar to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Exo1 which interacts with Msh2 and which is involved in mismatch repair and recombination. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
