- Study Design
- Using a tagging approach, the possible associations between longevity and the common genetic variation at the three bitter taste receptor gene clusters on chromosomes 5, 7 and 12 in a population of 941 unrelated individuals (20-106 years old) was investigated. The study included 348 very elderly cases (>=85 years, mean age 93.82 years, median age 92) and 593 non-elderly controls (<85 years, mean age 59.17 years, median age 67 years).
- Conclusions
- None of the tested single nucleotide polymorphisms, excepting rs978739, showed a significant association with the longevity phenotype
- Indentifier
- rs2599404
