- ATM
- Aliases
- AT1; ATA; ATC; ATD; ATE; ATDC; TEL1; TELO1
- Common name
- ATM serine/threonine kinase
- Description
- The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. This protein is an important cell cycle checkpoint kinase that phosphorylates; thus, it functions as a regulator of a wide variety of downstream proteins, including tumor suppressor proteins p53 and BRCA1, checkpoint kinase CHK2, checkpoint proteins RAD17 and RAD9, and DNA repair protein NBS1. This protein and the closely related kinase ATR are thought to be master controllers of cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathways that are required for cell response to DNA damage and for genome stability. Mutations in this gene are associated with ataxia telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Studies (4)
Significant/Non-significant: 2/2
Study 1
- Longevity Association
- Significant
- Population
- Chinese (Han)
- Study Design
- SNP rs189037 in the promoter region of ATM gene was studied in 789 long-long lived individuals and 886 controls
- Conclusions
- A significant association between CT genotype and longevity was observed. The CT genotype showed higher frequency in long-lived individuals than in controls (53.0% versus 45.9%, P = 0.004).

Study 2
- Longevity Association
- Significant
- Population
- Italian
- Study Design
- rs189037 C/T genotype was examined in 128 Italian long-lived individuals (78.1 % females, 98.7 ± 5.1 years; 52.3 % > 100 years) and 150 controls (56.7 % females, 67.2 ± 9.1 years) to study the association with longevity
- Conclusions
- There was association between the rs189037 C/T genotype and longevity in Italian centenarians, with an odds ratio of 1.85 (95 % CI 0.99-3.45)

Study 3
- Longevity Association
- Non-significant
- 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.

Study 4
- Longevity Association
- Non-significant
- Population
- Italian (Southern)
- Study Design
- A two-stage case-control study was performed to identify the association between longevity and variation of in homeostasis regulation pathway genes. 317 SNPs in 104 genes were analyzed in 78 cases (≥90 years, median age 98 years, 42 females) and 71 controls (<90 years, median age 67 years, 32 females) in stage 1. Then, 31 candidate SNPs identified in stage 1 (π markers = 0.1) were analyzed in an independent sample composed by 288 cases (≥90 years, median age 92 years, 163 females) and 554 controls (<90 years, median age 67 years, 277 females).
- Conclusions
- After adjustment for multiple testing, no significant association was identified between various SNPs and longevity.
