Previous studies have shown that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 5178 adenine/cytosine (5178A) polymorphism, which is one of the haplogroup-specific mutations for mtDNA haplogroup D, was apparently associated with aging and longevity in humans. We genotyped the 5178A in 293 samples representing three age groups (Old, n=95; Young, n=103; and Infant, n=95) from Yunnan Province, China. The distribution frequency of the 5178A in the Old samples (16.84%) is slightly higher than in those of the Young (13.59%) and Infant (15.79%), but the frequency difference between the age groups is far from being statistically significant ( P>0.05). Our results fail to support the suggestion of association between mtDNA 5178A (or haplogroup D) and longevity.
先前的研究表明,线粒体DNA(mtDNA)5178腺嘌呤/胞嘧啶(5178A)多态性是mtDNA单倍群D的单倍群特异性突变之一,显然与人类的衰老和长寿有关。我们对来自中国云南省的293个样本进行了5178A基因分型,这些样本代表了三个年龄组(老年组,n = 95;青年组,n = 103;婴儿组,n = 95)。5178A在老年样本中的分布频率(16.84%)略高于青年样本(13.59%)和婴儿样本(15.79%),但年龄组之间的频率差异远未达到统计学显著水平(P>0.05)。我们的结果未能支持mtDNA 5178A(或单倍群D)与长寿之间存在关联的观点。
