Study Design
Genome-wide association study in 403 unrelated nonagenarians from long-living families and 1670 younger controls. Strongest candidates were then investigated in a meta-analysis of 4149 nonagenarian cases and 7582 younger controls.
Conclusions
No SNP reached significance in the GWAS but 62 SNPs had an indicative association with survival into old age. Of these 62 SNPs then studied in the meta-analysis, only one was significant: rs2075650 located in TOMM40 and close to APOE. This association may be due to linkage disequilibrium with rs429358 and rs7412 in APOE; both rs429358 and rs7412 were associated with longevity in the meta-analysis.

Gene details

HGNC symbol
TOMM40
Aliases
TOM40; PEREC1; C19orf1; PER-EC1; D19S1177E 
Common name
translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the outer membrane of the mitochondria. It is the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) complex that is essential for import of protein precursors into mitochondria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
