- Non-significant
- Population
- American of Japanese origin
- Study Design
- Nested-case control study of 5 candidate longevity genes in 8006 Japanese American men from the Honolulu Heart Program and 3741 men part of the Honolulu Asia Aging Study
- Conclusions
- Genetic variants in ADIPOQ, FOXO1A, SIRT1 and COQ7 were not associated with longevity

- Common name
- adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing
- Description
- This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
