Study Design
30 SNPs were identified by sequencing the promoter and exons of p21 in ten individuals over 90 years old. Then the frequency of 41 p21 SNPs between 184 centenarians and 184 younger subjects in the Italian population were compared.
Conclusions
Rare alleles of two exon-derived SNPs, rs1801270 and rs1059234, were significantly under-represented among the centenarians; no significant differences were found for 39 non-exonic SNPs
Indentifier
rs2145047
