Study Design
A haplotype-based fine-mapping study was performed in 653 individuals (456 females, >= 98 years, mean age = 100.8 years) and controls (< 50 years, mean age = 38.6 years). Then, the identified haplotype marker was tested in 564 French (472 females, >= 99 years, mean age = 103.1 years) and 564 controls (18- 70 years, mean age = 51.2 years).
Conclusions
Although the association was not replicated in French cohort, there was evidence for statistical distortion in the form of Hardy–Weinberg disequilibrium.
