Abstract excerpt
Exceptional advances have been made in understanding the genetics of how common polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein E gene influence the risk and age of onset of Alzheimer disease (AD). The major genetic susceptibility locus for the common forms of AD, there are 3 common alleles, designated epsilon2, epsilon3, and epsilon4. The inheritance of each dose of APOE4 increases the risk of disease and decreases the age...
