rs1061170 is a SNP in the complement factor H CFH gene; it is also known as Tyr402His. The
rs1061170(T) allele encodes the more common Tyr (Y), while the generally rarer
rs1061170(C) encodes the His (H).
This SNP has been associated primarily with age related macular degeneration, and to a lesser extent, with longevity.
This AMD.
CFH variations appear to contribute to ARMD in Caucasians, but not in Japanese [AMD [AMD in Taiwan Chinese populations.[C7 and MBL2) may protect individuals with one or two of the rs1061170(C) risk alleles. [AMD
In a 4 year study of longevity of 491 nonagenarians in the Finnish Vitality 90+ study, risk factor-adjusted mortality was significantly higher among the rs1061170(C) carriers compared to non-carriers (odds ratio 1.78, CI 1.19-2.67, p = 0.005), and the survival curves of these carriers and non-carriers deviated significantly (p = 0.016). In other words, in this study, rs1061170(T;T) individuals generally lived longer than (C) allele carriers. [PMID 19000922]
