The Boston University researchers, who examined as many as 1000 centenarians, including Thomas Perls and Paola Sebastiani, have come up with a study of 150 gene types in the oldies.

These genes were found to be linked to the extent of lives, particularity, in those aged above 100 years.

The researchers observed that the super-centenarians had one pattern of longevity indicator genes, while the centenarians had a variety of genetic patterns related to lifespan extent.

Additionally, it was found that the centenarians had genes, which showed the likelihood of developing various forms of diseases.

However, it could not be ensured in the 150 gene pattern analysis, that for how long will they remain unaffected from the particular diseases.

The researchers examined more than 1,055 centenarians and 1,267 younger people.

Lead Authors, Perls and Sebastiani with their team, primarily discovered 33 SNPs. With the further study of the gene patterns, they ultimately spotted as many as 150 SNOPs, which were indicative of life extent.

The Statistical figure, as created by the researchers, over the 150 SNP patterns is capable of forecasting the possibility of entering centenarian stage in nearly 77% of the subjects.
