[Association analysis of polymorphic loci of TP53 and NFKB1 genes with human age and longevity]

TP53 and NFKB1 genes represent considerable interest as candidate genes of human aging and longevity. The allele and genotype frequency distributions of TP53 R72P (rs1042522) polymorphism and NFKB1 2592 + 58T > A (rs4648110) polymorphism were characterized in groups of men and women of 21-109 years in the given research. No statistically significant distinctions in allele and genotype frequencies between long-livers, old people and other age groups were revealed. On the basis of logistic regression analysis results it is obviously possible to make the conclusion that polymorphism R72P of TP53 gene and polymorphism 2592 + 58T > A of NFKB1 genes is associated with the age mainly throughout elderly and senile ranges of years. Relative chances to achieve the age of 80-90 years are higher in carriers of TP53*R/*R and NFKB1*A/*A genotypes. It is also possible to believe that TP53 and NFKB1 genes are frailty genes, instead of longevity ones.
