LongevityMap variant

Entry Details

Longevity Association
Non-significant
Population
Germany, Italian, Chinese (Han)
Study Design
36 haplotype-tagging SNPs (htSNPs) in the gene regions of FOXO1, FOXO4, and FOXO6 were examined in Germany cohort which consist of 1447 centenarians/nonagenarians (95-110 y, mean age: 98.8 y, approx. 75% female) and 1029 younger controls (60-75 y, mean age: 66.8 y, approx. 75% female) for longevity association analysis. Then these htSNPs were examined in Italian women samples which consist of 166 long-lived individuals (90–109 years, mean age: 98.39 years) and 216 younger controls (18–48 years; mean age: 31.06 years).
Conclusions
None of the FOXO1, FOXO4, and FOXO6 genes plays a significant role in the ability to reach old age in Germany. FOXO1 was not associated with longevity in Italian either.

Gene details

HGNC symbol
FOXO1
Aliases
FKH1; FKHR; FOXO1A 
Common name
forkhead box O1 
Description
This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Translocation of this gene with PAX3 has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
