rs1800591-rs61733139 ( SNPedia | 23andMe )

Variant Type: Haplotype

Factor:
- Symbol: MTTP
- Name: microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
- Entrez ID: 4547
- Ensembl ID: ENSG00000138823


Description:

The two MTP polymorphisms are in complete LD. "We found no association of an MTP haplotype with longevity in either of our Leiden studies." Meta-analysis led to same conclusion.

T-Q haplotype was studied. Initial number refers to nonagenarian sib pairs vs partners of the offspring of nonagenarian sib pairs
