Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory regions of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene modify the well-established epsilon4-associated risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sequencing of the APOE gene regulatory regions revealed four previously reported promoter SNPs and one novel SNP in the previously described macrophage enhancer (ME.1). In addition,...
