Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between the apolipoprotein epsilon 4 allele and concussion. We hypothesized that apolipoprotein epsilon 4 carriers may be more likely to sustain a concussion. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: University of Toronto varsity athletics. PARTICIPANTS:...
