Abstract excerpt
The association of inheritance of different apolipoprotein E (APOE, gene; apoE, protein) alleles with the risk and rate of onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now well established and widely confirmed. While there are now a collection of hypotheses concerning the specific relationship of APOE polymorphisms to various phenotypic manifestations of AD, no single compelling theory has been tested and universally...
