Abstract excerpt

We have found an unusually high prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Wadi Ara, an inbred Arab community in northern Israel. Allele frequencies of 4.5% and 3.5% were found for the apolipoprotein E e4 allele among AD cases and nondemented controls, respectively, showing that other genetic or environmental influences must be responsible. Family studies revealed that more than one-third of the AD cases are...
