Polymorphism: REN polymorphisms



Variant Type: SNP

Factor:
- Symbol: REN
- Name: renin
- Entrez ID: 5972
- Ensembl ID: ENSG00000143839


Description:

The research conducted used a "centenarian-only approach" rather than the traditional case-control design. And although a "significant interaction between REN gene allele 10 and the mitochondrial haplotype H, which could favour longevity," was found, the authors admitted that "[n]o effect of the gene alone can be estimated by this approach... [The centenarian-only approach] is limited to [gene-gene] interaction only.
