LongevityMap variant
- Longevity Association
- Significant
- Population
- American (Caucasian)
- Study Design
- 291 SNPs in 30 genes in the insulin/IGF1 signaling pathway were evaluated in 293 long-lived cases and 603 average-lifespan controls (all female), then replicated the candidate genes in two independent cohorts: 279 cases (47% male vs 797 controls(52.6% male) and 383 cases (25.2% male) vs 363 controls (42.7 % male)
- Conclusions
- The association of FOXO3A rs1935949 and rs4946935 with longevity in the meta-analysis have statistical significance (adjusted P values were 0.0093 and 0.019 respectively) in female samples
- HGNC symbol
- FOXO3
- Aliases
- FOXO2; AF6q21; FKHRL1; FOXO3A; FKHRL1P2
- Common name
- forkhead box O3
- Description
- This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through expression of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
