Research suggests that the APOE2 gene variant may play a role in helping neurons repair DNA and resist aging. This variant has been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, and studies indicate it may promote neuronal DNA repair and enhance resistance to aging. The APOE2 gene variant is being referred to as a "longevity gene" due to its potential protective effects on the brain.
