Abstract excerpt
The review focuses on the analysis of available data about association of polymorphic genetic markers of gene encoding apolipoprotein E (APOE) with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The most investigated genetic marker of poor outcome after TBI is presence of 4 allele of APOE gene. According to most authors, carriers of this allele have worse functional outcome and lower indices of restoration of cognitive functions....
