- Non-significant
- Population
- American (Caucasian)
- Study Design
- Genome-wide association study for longevity-related traits in up to 1345 Framingham Study participants from 330 families; 713 participants achieved age 65 years or greater. A total of 79 potential candidate genes and regions associated with longevity were also studied.
- Conclusions
- Although no genome-wide associations were significant, several SNPs in some previously associated genes with longevity had suggestive associations with age at death or morbidity-free survival at age 65 years. Noteworthy results included two SNPs within FOXO1A (rs10507486 and rs4943794) associated with age at death.

Gene details
- HGNC symbol
- FOXO1
- Aliases
- FKH1; FKHR; FOXO1A
- Common name
- forkhead box O1
- Description
- This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it may play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Translocation of this gene with PAX3 has been associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
