Abstract excerpt
The epsilon4 haplotype of APOE is the only undisputed genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). It has been proposed that at least two other polymorphisms in the promoter of the APOE gene (-219G>T and -491A>T) might also contribute to disease susceptibility, and modulate the impact of structural changes in the ApoE protein, by altering its expression. In order to assess the extent of...
