Apolipoprotein E (APOE), translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog (TOMM40) and apolipoprotein CI (APOC1) may extend lifespan by marked delay or escape from age-related diseases. This study aimed to elucidate the association of human longevity with genetic variations in TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region in a Chinese population. Ten tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region were successfully genotyped in 616 unrelated long-lived individuals and 846 younger controls. Of the 10 SNPs, rs7254892 in 5′ upstream of TOMM40 showed significant association with human longevity (G/A–A/A vs G/G: odds ratio (OR)= 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.20–2.09, P= 0.0011, Bonferroni corrected P (Pc)= 0.033). The haplotype analysis suggested that individuals carrying the haplotype A–A–A–A–T–A–T–G–C–A (rs7254892–rs157580–rs2075649–rs2075650–rs157582–rs8106922–rs1160985–rs405697–rs439401–rs445925) tended to have longer lifespan than those carrying the most common haplotype G–G–A–A–C–A–C–A–T–G (OR= 1.59, 95% CI= 1.19–2.12, P= 0.0018, Pc= 0.0216). These findings indicated that variants in TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region might be associated with human longevity. Further studies are needed to identify the causal genetic variants influencing human longevity.
