Abstract excerpt
Several studies have demonstrated genetic associations between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and polymorphisms in the promoter/enhancer regions of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. These studies raise the possibility that APOE transcription control may be involved in altered risks for AD. We evaluated polymorphic sites in the intron-1 enhancer element (IE-1G/C) and in the APOE promoter (-219G/T). For the IE-1...
