Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    MLH1 mutL homolog 1, colon cancer, nonpolyposis type 2 (E. coli) 3 SNPs in the coding region of MLH1 were analyzed in 85 Korean centenarians and in 106 Korean controls. The CAT haplotype (C670, A676 and T1172) frequency was significantly higher in the centenarians than in the controls [16474933]. MLH1 was found to be associated with longevity [22406557]. Human
    MTR 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase 329 healthy individuals were examined for 2576A-->G (D919G) polymorphism in the MTR gene. Prevalence of the G-allele was significantly higher in the older than in the younger individuals. Separate analysis of female and male subjects revealed that the influence of the MTR genotype on male subjects became relevant at a younger age as opposed to female subjects suggesting a gender-dependent effect [16142417].

    TGFB1 transforming growth factor, beta 1 4 SNPs (-800 G/A, -509 C/T, +869 T/C and +915 G/C) in the TGFB1 gene were analysed in 419 subjects from Northern and Central Italy, including 172 centenarians and 247 younger controls. Significant differences were found at the +915 site as far as the C allele and GC genotype were concerned, both of them being lower in centenarians than in young controls, but none of the other tested genetic variants was significantly different between centenarians and controls. Moreover, a particular haplotype combination (G -800/C -509/C 869/C 915) was notably lower in centenarians than in younger individuals [15569360].TGFB1 was found to be associated with longevity [21299522].

    HMOX1 heme oxygenase (decycling) 1 A (GT)n repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of the human HO-1 gene was examined in younger (60 years, 59 male and 45 female) and older (60-75 years, 95 male and 106 female) subjects. The proportion of allelic frequencies in class L with a large size of (GT)n repeat, as well as the genotypic frequencies in group I with class L alleles, was significantly lower in the oldest male subjects than in the younger males. In contrast, in the oldest female subjects this was not observed [12566526].HMOX1 was found to be associated with longevity [12566526]. Human

    YTHDF2 YTH domain family, member 2 A locus associated with human longevity corresponds to (TG)n microsatellite is located in the YTHDF2 gene. 412 participants of different ages, including 137 centenarians, were genotyped. The increased homozygosity in centenarians at this locus was confirmed, and observed a concomitantly increased frequency of the most frequent allele and the corresponding homozygous genotype. The same genotype was associated with increased YTHDF2 messenger RNA levels in immortalized lymphocytes. [16799135].YTHDF2 was found to be associated with longevity [16799135]. Human

Neither the XbaI-RFLP nor the EcoRI-RFLP was able to discriminate between centenarians and controls, while the 3'APOB-VNTR multiallelic system revealed significant differences between the samples: the frequency of alleles with fewer than 35 repeats was lower in centenarians than in controls [9050915].apoB was found to be associated with longevity [17393087].APOB was found to be associated with longevity [15028112].
