Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E, encoded by APOE, is the main apoprotein for catabolism of chylomicrons and very low density lipoprotein. Two common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in APOE, rs429358 and rs7412, determine the three epsilon alleles that are established genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). These two SNPs are not...
