Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are disease-associated polymorphisms in 9p21 associated with extreme longevity?
Answer: Our findings suggest that the 9p21 disease-associated polymorphisms do not contribute to the life-long protection from cardiovascular and other age-related diseases observed in centenarians. It is likely that this protection is mediated by mechanisms different from the ones underlying the 9p21 association.
Output (English): no
