ATM | ataxia telangiectasia mutated | Individuals with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) have a decreased lifespan, with a maximum of 52 years [3864931].ATM was found to be associated with longevity [22960875].ATM was found to be associated with longevity [20816691].

BLM | Bloom syndrome, RecQ helicase-like | BLM mutation cuases Bloom syndrom. Individuals with Bloom syndrome have a shortend life expectancy []. Death is primary due to cancer, particulary leukemia and lymphoma [German, 1992]. Bloom syndrome is not a premature aging disease. Bloom syndrome characteristics are grwoth deficiency, sun-snesitivity, telangiectatic hypo- and hyperpigmented skin, predisposition to malignancy, and chromosomal instability [5770175]. | Human |
ERCC8 | excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 8 | Individuals with a mutation in ERCC8 (alias CKN1) have a shortened lifespan, short stature, precociously senile appearance, retinal degeneration, optic atrophy, sensitivity to sunlight, and mental retardation [14156156]. Hypertension and renal disease are also common in ERCC8 mutants [514720]. | Human |
GH1 | growth hormone 1 | Mean lifespan in untreated, affected individuals homozyogus for a deletion at the GH1 locus is significantly shorter (P < 0.05) than in affected siblings or the general population. Individuals homozygous for GH1 deletion demonstrate hereditary dwarfism [12915652]. GH1 was found to be associated with longevity [15771611]. | Human |
WRN | Werner syndrome, RecQ helicase-like | Mutation in WRN causes Werner Syndrome which characteristics includes prematurely aged facies, scleroderma-like skin changes, cataracts, arteriosclerosis, subcutaneous calcification, and diabetes mellitus [McKusick et al. 1963; 5327241]. Inheritance is autosomal recessive and malignancy is frequent. THe frequency is 3 per million individuals in Japan [7460386].
Cells from a Werner heterozygote exit the cell cycle at a faster rate than do normal cells [8265666]. Loss of WRN promoter aberrant mitotic recombination [11316787].
The single nucleotide polymorphism rs1800392 in WRN has been associated with exceptional longevity in a plethora of genetic signatures [22279548]. WRN was found to be associated with longevity [10069711; 20855428; 20855428; 20855428 ;17903295; 22406557; 16405962; 16405962; 16405962; 20855428; 20855428; 20855428; 22279548]. WRN was found to be associated with longevity [24244950]. | Human |
