Found, Gen Longevity

A number of scientists from the United States claimed to have
discovered the gene that
'responsible' in human longevity. Accuracy of this invention achieve
77%.
Excerpted from the pages of The Telegraph, Thursday (1/7), the home team Boston University conducted a study of a thousand people over the age of 100 years and compared with the general population.

The result, researchers have found similarities in the DNA of people who can live long. Apart from
the environmental conditions and a person's health history, this gene is able to work in a complex to provide longevity. Researchers headed by Professor Paola Sebastiani and then name the unique model includes 150
genetic variants called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
Researchers also thinks that this invention can be used in the younger generation through the
process of treatment and prevention of disease threats. This gene enables live to be 100 years
regardless of your chosen lifestyle.
Based on the hypothesis that an old man carrying a particular gene variant of this, the research team
continues to develop the study of human aging.

Old diseases that often strike the grandfather and grandmother was 'pending' for those who have
this variant. In conclusion, the 150 variants of this gene can also be used to predict whether someone can be aged up to 90 or even older,
with a high degree of accuracy.
In addition, the team also analyzed 19 other genetic groups are supposed to be a 'character'
90 percent of the study of longevity.

According to them, the difference signal is typically correlated with genetic diseases such as dementia and hypertension old. This too can help disclosures if someone entered the age group is very healthy.
This discovery could help prevent diseases that strike in old age, including decreased ability of the
body. Nevertheless, Professor Sebastiani added "This prediction is not perfect. Although this will
contribute to the knowledge of human gene variants, but the study of human and environmental correlations are still lacking. For
example, the lifestyle is very important contributions to human AGAT long life."
