Gene details

HGNC symbol
TCF19 
Aliases
SC1; TCF-19 
Common name
transcription factor 19 
Description
This gene encodes a protein that contains a PHD-type zinc finger domain and likely functions as a transcription factor. The encoded protein plays a role proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic beta cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Study Design
Genome-wide association study comparing 664,472 autosomal SNPs in 763 long-lived individuals (mean age: 99.7 years) and 1085 controls (mean age: 60.2 years). Top SNPs from the GWAS were further investigated in an independent German sample comprised of 754 long-lived individuals (mean age: 96.9 years) and 860 controls (mean age: 67.3 years).
Conclusions
Thirty-two SNPs previously associated with longevity were not associated with longevity in this study
