Polymorphism: (+)2019 del



Variant Type: Deletion
Location: 3q27

Factor:
- Symbol: ADIPOQ10
- Name: adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing
- Entrez ID: 9370
- Ensembl ID: ENSG00000181092

Factors:
  • ADIPOQ10 adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing ( 9370 / ENSG00000181092 )


    • Description:

    Over-representation of two common variants in Adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) in male long-lived individuals combined with their independent association with elevated plasma adiponectin levels (in men and women) suggests that their presence may promote increased life span through the regulation of adiponectin production and/or secretion.
