Immunogenetics of longevity and its association with human endogenous retrovirus K by Lisa M. James, Lisa M. James, Lisa M. James, Apostolos P. Georgopoulos, Apostolos P. Georgopoulos, Apostolos P. Georgopoulos, Apostolos P. Georgopoulos

“…HLA is highly polymorphic, resulting in subtle differences in the binding groove that influence foreign antigen binding and elimination. Here we tested the hypothesis that certain HLA alleles may promote longevity by enhanced ability to counter virus antigens that may otherwise contribute to morbidity and mortality.MethodsWe utilized high-resolution genotyping to characterize HLA and apolipoprotein E in a large sample (N = 986) of participants (469 men, 517 women) ranging in age from 24 to 90+ years old (mean age: 58.10 years) and identified 244 HLA alleles that occurred in the sample. …”
