- Population
- Ashkenazi Jewish
- Study Design
- TSH heritability, its distribution, and association with SNPs in the TSH-B and TSHR genes was determined in Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians (n = 232; median age, 97 yr), their offspring (n = 366; median age, 69 yr), and age-matched controls without familial longevity (n = 163; median age, 70 yr)
- Conclusions
- A heritable phenotype characterized by raised serum TSH is associated with human longevity. Allele frequency of two SNPs in the promoter/enhancer region of TSHR gene (rs12050077 and rs10149689), associated with increased serum TSH, was higher in centenarians and their offspring compared to controls.
