Symbol: APOB Name: apolipoprotein B (including Ag(x) antigen) Entrez gene ID: 338 Ensembl gene ID: ENSG00000084674 Species: Human (Taxid: 9606) Observation: A sample of 143 centenarians and a control sample of 158 individuals were examined for polymorphism in APOB restriction fragment length (RFLP) (XbaI2488 and EcoRI4154) and variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) (3'APOB-VNTR) polymorphisms. Neither the XbaI-RFLP nor the EcoRI-RFLP was able to discriminate between centenarians and controls, while the 3'APOB-VNTR multiallelic system revealed significant differences between the samples: the frequency of alleles with fewer than 35 repeats was lower in centenarians than in controls [9050915].apoB was found to be associated with longevity [17393087].APOB was found to be associated with longevity [15028112].
