Common name
tumor protein p53 
Description
This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein containing transcriptional activation, DNA binding, and oligomerization domains. The encoded protein responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate expression of target genes, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including hereditary cancers such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene and the use of alternate promoters result in multiple transcript variants and isoforms. Additional isoforms have also been shown to result from the use of alternate translation initiation codons from identical transcript variants (PMIDs: 12032546, 20937277).

    A genome-wide linkage scan on human longevity was performed in 279 families with multiple long-lived siblings
    Conclusions
    One locus on chromosome 9q31-34 was borderline significant and a peak on 12q24 was detected in a subset of the data. There was also modest evidence for a peak on 4q22-25.

                  Conclusions
                  M9 haplogroups in longevity subjects were reduced and a decreasing trend of N9 frequency was also observed. An increasing trend of D4 frequency and a decreasing trend of B4a frequency were observed in females. None of the associations were significant, however, after controlling for multiple testing.

                                              The frequencies of mtDNA haplogroups and haplogroup clusters were examined among elderly subjects and controls in a Finnish population: 225 persons aged 90 or 91 years (Vitality 90+, 179 women, 400 mid-age controls (18–65 years; mean age: 40.5 years)) and 257 infants (2–12 months; mean: 6.5 months))
                                              Conclusions
                                              Haplogroup H was less frequent among the Vitality 90+ cases than among the middle-aged subjects (P=0.001) and infants (P=0.00001), whereas haplogroups J, U and K were more frequent. Haplogroup clusters also differed between Vitality 90+ and both the middle-aged subjects (P=0.002) and infants (P=0.00001), the frequency of haplogroup cluster HV being lower in the former and that of UK and WIX being higher. MtDNA haplogroups or haplogroup clusters were associated with longevity.

                                                Conclusions
                                                Male centenarians emerged in northern Italy as a particular sample: 1) mtDNA haplogroup frequency distribution was different between centenarians and younger individuals (P=0.017 by permutation tests); and 2) the frequency of the J haplogroup was notably higher in centenarians than in younger individuals (P=0.0052 by Fisher exact test). MtDNA inherited variability could play a role in successful aging and longevity.

                                                  The rs1333049 polymorphism was examined in a sample of 80 healthy centenarians (100-104y, 41 females), 218 patients younger than 40 who had experienced an acute myocardial infarction (22-39y, 53 females), and a control group of 258 healthy young volunteers (22–39y, 120 females) matched to acute myocardial infarction patients for age and sex
                                                  Conclusions
                                                  The frequency of the C allele of rs1333049 was significantly lower in centenarians compared to young controls, whereas acute myocardial infarction patients showed a higher frequency. After adjustment for gender and vascular risk factors, the C allele of rs1333049 remained significantly associated with a reduced likelihood to reach longevity: Odds ratio 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39-0.89, p < 0.01. The rs1333049 polymorphism may influence successful longevity, possibly by modulating the risk of age-related disorders.

                                                    Conclusions
                                                    The risk of hematologic cancer increased 2-fold in Arg/Pro heterozygotes vs. Arg/Arg homozygotes (p < 0.001), with a similar trend in Pro/Pro homozygotes. The overall 12-year survival after blood sampling was increased in Arg/Pro heterozygotes with 3% (p = 0.003) and in Pro/Pro homozygotes with 6% (p = 0.002) vs. Arg/Arg homozygotes. The cumulative 5-year mortality after a cancer diagnosis was reduced in Arg/Pro heterozygotes and Pro/Pro homozygotes vs. Arg/Arg homozygotes by 9% (p = 0.003) and 13% (p = 0.03). These results suggest a better prognosis in Arg/Pro heterozygotes and Pro/Pro homozygotes vs. Arg/Arg homozygotes after the diagnosis of cancer or other life-threatening disease.

The mtDNA subhaplogroups were determined in remaining 2947 samples (1449 ultranonagenarians and 1498 controls) to verify possible haplogroup association with longevity and the distribution pattern among European counties.
                                                      Conclusions
                                                      The distribution of H2, T2 haplogroup in female and H1, J2 in male showed differences between older subjects and younger controls, but no association was detectable when corrected for multiple test. Mitochondrial DNA variation does affect human longevity, but its effect is heavily influenced by the interaction between mutations concomitantly occurring on different mtDNA genes.

None of these SNPs were validated in the follow-up analysis. Since rs12741354 (in ASTN1) was nearly significant, it was further investigated in French centenarians but it failed to be associated with longevity.

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).
