Abstract excerpt
In this work, we explored the existence of genetic variant within the apolipoprotein E gene transcriptional regulatory region. Upon a population study, three polymorphic sites (-491, -427 and -219) and two mutations were found. We investigated newly reported -427T/C promoter polymorphism in association with sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular (VD) and mixed dementia (MD) along with APOE genotype and...
