The genetics of late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Of late-onset Alzheimer's disease patients 50% do not carry an apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele, indicating that there must be other genetic or environmental risk factors for the disease. During the past few years, both genetic linkage and candidate gene studies have been undertaken in order to identify novel genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Previous genome screens implicated a region of...
