Notes

The most significant SNP of 150 identified as relevant to exceptional longevity in ; the genotype statistically associated with a greater "risk" of longevity is rs1036819(C;C). Newsweek has reported in the article The Little Flaw in the Longevity-Gene Study That Could Be a Big Problem that the associations for rs1036819 and rs1455311 may be incorrect because of a flaw in one of the chips used.
