Abstract:
Background
There is strong evidence that an individual's genetic background is an important predisposing factor to longevity. In the
present study we analysed the frequency of HLA class I, class II, as well as the TNF-α -308 polymorphism that may be related
to an increased life span in Mexican Mestizo healthy elders.
