摘要: Abstract We studied centenarians to investigate the biological basis of human longevity focusing on apolipoprotein A-IV and lipoprotein(a), potentially involved in susceptibility atherogenic mechanisms. analyzed two restriction polymorphisms, HinfI 347 (alleles +, −) Fnu4HI 360 1, 2), a VNTR 3, 4) at 3′ region apo gene. The allele frequencies, lipoprotein concentrations their association adults have been compared. In centenarians, genotype distribution is different ( P 20 mg/dl, value considered as threshold for risk, surprisingly compatible with healthy longevity.
