- Population
- Danish
- Study Design
- 592 SNPs from 77 genes involved in nine sub-processes were analyzed in 1089 long-lived and 736 middle-aged Danes. Then, a replicated study was carried out in a German cohort.
- Conclusions
- The results did not remain significant after correction. The findings drawn from the Danish cohort were not replicated in German samples.
