Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    Apo C-I apolipoprotein C-I Apo C-I was found to be associated with longevity [9105559]. Human
    APOA1 apolipoprotein A-I APOA1-MspI-RFLP (-75 nt from the transcription starting site) polymorphism was examined in a healthy population with 304 subjects aged 18-45 years, 267 subjects aged 46-80 years and 229 subjects aged 81-109 years (including 184 subjects, 43 males and 141 females, older than 100 years). The APOA1 allele P, which increases serum LDL-C at middle-age and is over-represented in cardiovascular diseases, tends to increase its frequency in the centenarians males [12556235].APOA1 was found to be associated with longevity [12556235]. Human
    APOCIII apolipoprotein C-III APOCIII was found to be associated with longevity [8018664]. Human
    ARHGEF19 Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) 19 ARHGEF19 was found to be associated with longevity [22445811]. Human
    ART3 ADP-ribosyltransferase 3 ART3 was found to be associated with longevity [22445811]. Human
    APBB1 amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein-binding, family B, member 1 (Fe65) At least one copy of the minor allele of F65 was associated with decreased risk of sporadic dementia of the Alezheimer's type as suggest by a larde epidemiological study [9799084]. Fe65 protein binds to the intracellular domain of the beta-amyloid precursor protein and may modulate the internalization of betaPP. The deletion/substitution of the minor allele occurs with the intron that interrupts the two exons encoding the betaPP binding site. Linkage of the minor allele with resistance to DAT was confirmed in another study in populations over 75 years-of-age [11065130], while epidemiological studies that did not support the linage [11436125; 11099823; 11029529] lacked representation of individuals older than 75 years-old. Any protective effect that the minor allele of Fe65 might have is probably restricted to individuals older than 75 years. Human
    ATCAY ataxia, cerebellar, Cayman type ATCAY was found to be associated with longevity [21782286]. Human
    ATK1 v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 ATK1 was found to be associated with longevity [21418511]. Human
    Atp5j2 ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial Fo complex, subunit F2 Atp5j2 is transcriptional upregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013]. Norway rat
    ATP8 ATP8 was found to be associated with longevity [10996007]. Human
    ATP8_RAT ATP synthase protein 8 ATP8_RAT is transcriptional upregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013].

    BAT5 abhydrolase domain containing 16A BAT5 was found to be associated with longevity [22279548]. Human
    Bbs1 Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 protein Bbs1 is transcriptional downregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013]. Norway rat
    BDH1 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, type 1 BDH1 was found to be associated with longevity [22445811]. Human
    F7 coagulation factor VII (serum prothrombin conversion accelerator) Blood coagulation factor VII (FVII) R/Q353 and FVII-323ins10 SNPs were examined in 187 centenarians (47 males and 140 females) and 201 controls (20-64 years). R/Q353 and FVII-323ins10 manifest significant influences on survival in males, with reduced hazards of death for carriers of the Q353 allele and the FVII-323P10 allele [11602206].F7 was found to be associated with longevity [15621215].
