Variant Type: SNP
Location: 16q21

Factor:
- Symbol: CETP
- Name: cholesteryl ester transfer protein, plasma
- Entrez ID: 1071
- Ensembl ID: ENSG00000087237

Factors:
  • CETP cholesteryl ester transfer protein, plasma ( 1071 / ENSG00000087237 )


  • Description:

    We report here the lack of association of the valine (V) allele in the long-lived subjects. In fact a slight although not significant reduction in the V allele frequencies was observed in centenarians.

    Trivial name is I405V.

    Ethnicity: Italian
    Age of cases: 99.6
    Finding: Negative

    - p-value: 0.318
    - Significant: No

    Study Design
    - Study type: Candidate Region/Gene
    - Technology: PCR-RFLP
