Factors:
  • FOXO4 forkhead box O4 ( 4303 / ENSG00000184481 )


  • Description:

    Our results suggest that in Germans [nor Italians], none of the three genes plays a significant role in the ability to reach old age.

    p-value = 0.696 (allele)

    p-value = 0.548 (genotype)

    odds ratio = 0.98 (0.86–1.10) (95% C.I.)

    Ethnicity: German
    Age of cases: Mean age 98.8
    Finding: Negative

    Statistics
    - Number of cases/controls: 1447 vs 1029 (German) (initial) | 166 vs 216 (Italian) (replication)
    - Odds ratio: 0.98
    - p-value: 0.696 [0.548 (genotype)]

    Study Design
    - Classifications: No Age Effect
    - Study type: Candidate Region/Gene
    - Technology: SNPIex Genotyping System, TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays, Infinium II Assay-HumanHap 317K duo BeadChip system
