Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a genetic association between the 3.5 kb (F) Taq I restriction fragment length polymorphism allele of the apolipoprotein CII gene on chromosome 19 and familial Alzheimer's disease. Here, we report an additional analysis of this association performed on an expanded and better defined data set of 23 families with familial Alzheimer's disease. The F allele frequency in affected family members...
