rs1799990 ( SNPedia | 23andMe )

Variant Type: SNP



Description:

From abstract: "Among centenarians both homozygotes were more common than expected... This finding is consistent with a higher mortality rate among heterozygotes. However, the observed allele and genotype frequencies did not differ significantly between the oldest-old and the young controls."
