Abstract excerpt
Although the APOE epsilon4 allele is a strong risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is not deterministic, as many APOE epsilon3/4 individuals do not develop AD. It has been hypothesized that this incomplete penetrance is due, in part, to an imbalance of allele expression in heterozygous individuals. In this regard, Lambert et al. (1998) reported that AD individuals have a higher APOE epsilon4/total APOE...
