Rapid determination of apolipoprotein E genotype using a heteroduplex generator.

Abstract excerpt

The apoE gene exhibits two common polymorphisms that have been associated with both coronary artery disease and Alzheimer's disease. The polymorphisms create the three allelic isoforms E2, E3, and E4 which are encoded by Cys;-Cys, Cys;-Arg, and Arg;-Arg at amino acid positions 112 and 158, respectively. Numerous methods have been described to identify these three apoE alleles although there are disadvantages and...
