Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 allele has consistently been established as an Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factor, but its pathological contribution to AD is obscure. Certain butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) polymorphisms together with the ApoE ε4 allele synergistically increase the risk of AD. In addition, AD risk factors, i.e. advanced age, female gender and ApoE ε4 are associated with different levels of CSF...
