Methods for determining likelihood of longevity and of developing an age-related disease

摘要

The present invention provides a method for identifying a subject's likelihood of achieving longevity or of developing an age-related disease, the method for identifying a subject's likelihood of achieving longevity or of developing an age-related disease comprising detecting at least one specified single nucleotide polymorphisms or genotype at a single nucleotide polymorphism or combination of a genotype at a first single nucleotide polymorphism and a genotype at a second single nucleotide polymorphism in a sample of the subject's DNA and, wherein the detection of at least one single nucleotide polymorphisms or genotype at a single nucleotide polymorphism or combination of a genotype at a first single nucleotide polymorphism and a genotype at a second single nucleotide polymorphism identifies the subject's as likely achieving longevity or of developing an age-related disease.
