Abstract excerpt
The two genetic polymorphisms, rs7412 and rs429358, that collectively form the e2, e3, and e4 alleles of apolipoprotein E (APOE) are among the most widely studied sequence variants in the genome. The predominant model for testing APOE involves the haplotype combinations of e2, e3, and e4 and has...
