GWAS-Validated Candidates

Only APOE and FOXO3 have been consistently replicated across nearly all longevity GWAS studies worldwide, making them the most robust longevity-associated genes identified to date.

Heritability of Lifespan

Recent 2026 research published in Science estimates that approximately 55% of human lifespan is heritable — significantly higher than the previous estimate of 10–25%, reshaping our understanding of longevity genetics.

Centenarian Enriched Variants

Rare variants such as SIRT6 N308K/A313S are found enriched in Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians. These functional variants enhance genome stability and represent promising targets for aging intervention.
