- Study Design
- A comprehensive resequencing of SIRT1 gene in 16 centenarians and 16 controls identified 36 SNPs (5 of those were novel SNPs). 19 SNPs with MAF > 0.05 were tested in 312 centenarians and 169 controls for association with longevity. 5 tagSNPs from a total 19 SNPs were tested for association with lipid profiles.
- Conclusions
- No association was found between SIRT1 SNPs and longevity, although rs10997854 and rs142194353 were associated with lipid parameters.

- Description
- This gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes. The functions of human sirtuins have not yet been determined; however, yeast sirtuin proteins are known to regulate epigenetic gene silencing and suppress recombination of rDNA. Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The protein encoded by this gene is included in class I of the sirtuin family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
