Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer disease (AD) risk is significantly influenced by the APOE2 and APOE4 alleles. In turn, the -491AT and TH1/E47cs polymorphisms alter APOE gene expression levels. To determine whether these two alleles exert any significant effect on AD development we have analysed the genotypes of the APOE promoter -491AT and Th1/E47cs polymorphisms in 163 AD patients and 155 controls divided into three age at onset/age...
