Abstract excerpt
Two recently described polymorphisms in the promoter region of the apolipoprotein E (APOE), the -491A/T and Th1/E47csT/G polymorphism, have been suggested to be associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) independent from the APOE epsilon 4 carrier status. We studied the association between the APOE epsilon 4 polymorphism and the -491A/T and Th1E47csT/G polymorphisms in a sample of 118 healthy,...
