|title=Investigation of complement component C4 copy number variation in human longevity.
|pubmed-url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24465950
|abstract=Genetic factors have been estimated to account for about 25% of the variation in an adult's life span. The complement component C4 with the isotypes [[C4A]] and [[C4B]] is an effector protein of the immune system, and differences in the overall C4 copy number or gene size (long C4L; short C4S) may influence the strength of the immune response and disease susceptibilities. Previously, an association between [[C4B]] copy number and life span was reported for Hungarians and Icelanders, where the [[C4B]]*Q0 genotype, which is defined by [[C4B]] gene deficiency, showed a decrease in frequency with age. Additionally, one of the studies indicated that a low [[C4B]] copy number might be a genetic trait that is manifested only in the presence of the environmental risk factor "smoking". These observations prompted us to investigate the role of the C4 alleles in our large German longevity sample (∼ 700 cases; 94-110 years and ∼ 900 younger controls). No significant differences in the number of [[C4A]], [[C4B]] and C4S were detected. Besides, the [[C4B]]*Q0 carrier state did not decrease with age, irrespective of smoking as an interacting variable. However, for C4L*Q0 a significantly different carrier frequency was observed in the cases compared with controls (cases: 5.08%; controls: 9.12%; p = 0.003). In a replication sample of 714 German cases (91-108 years) and 890 controls this result was not replicated (p = 0.14) although a similar trend of decreased C4L*Q0 carrier frequency in cases was visible (cases: 7.84%; controls: 10.00%).
