LongevityMap Gene
Gene details
- HGNC symbol
- EGFR
- Aliases
- ERBB; HER1; mENA; ERBB1; PIG61; NISBD2
- Common name
- epidermal growth factor receptor
- Description
- The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.

- Study Design
- 463 biomarkers in 176 diesase associated genes were examined in 137 long lived individuals (>90 y, 59.1% female, 96.73 ± 3.97 y) and 213 young controls (12-14 y, 39.4% female, 12.93 ± 0.80)
- Conclusions
- EGFR was associated with longevity (P = 0.003) after correcting for multiple hypothesis testing
