They identified genetic markers that are «most different» between centenarians and randomly selected individuals... «We tested our model in an independent set of centenarians and achieved an accuracy of 77 %,» explained Professor Sebastiani.
Using these data, we built a genetic model that includes 150 single - nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and found that it could predict EL with 77 % accuracy in an independent set of centenarians and controls.
