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

Human
    TGFB1 transforming growth factor, beta 1 4 SNPs (-800 G/A, -509 C/T, +869 T/C and +915 G/C) in the TGFB1 gene were analysed in 419 subjects from Northern and Central Italy, including 172 centenarians and 247 younger controls. Significant differences were found at the +915 site as far as the C allele and GC genotype were concerned, both of them being lower in centenarians than in young controls, but none of the other tested genetic variants was significantly different between centenarians and controls. Moreover, a particular haplotype combination (G -800/C -509/C 869/C 915) was notably lower in centenarians than in younger individuals [15569360].TGFB1 was found to be associated with longevity [21299522].

    ACE angiotensin I converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptidase A) 1 The I/D polymorphism in ACE was a examined in centenarians (n = 338) and in adults aged 20-70 years. A variant of ACE which predisposes the coronary heat disease was more frequently in centenarians with a significant increase of the homozygous genotype [8136829]. I/D polymorphism was examined in 182 women and 100 men aged >84 years and in 100 boys and 100 girls younger than 17 years. The I/I polymorphism was depleted in the elderly males but not in the elderly females. Furthermore, significant differences were observed between ACE genotypes in elderly men and elderly women [9105559]. I/D polymorphism was examined in 394 French centenarians (13% men and 87% women) and controls (238) from 20 to 70 years of age (140 men and 98 women). Both the ACE D allele and ACE D/D genotype were more frequent in centenarians in comparison with controls, without sex-related differences nor significant correlation with a cardiovascular pathology [9761238]. I/D polymorphism was examined in 424 subjects comprising 227 Uighur individuals, 108 Kazakh individuals, and 89 Han individuals. All subjects in the latter two groups ranged in age from 65 to 70 years, whereas the Uighur subjects comprised two different age groups: those ranging in age from 59 to 70 years and those ranging in age from 90 to 113 years. Within the Uighur group, frequency of the D allele was significantly higher in the group aged >90 than in the group aged <70.
