African‐American TOMM40'523‐<i>APOE</i> haplotypes are admixture of West African and Caucasian alleles
25 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated a lower apolipoprotein E4 (APOE ε4) allele frequency in African-Americans, but yet an increased age-related prevalence of AD. An algorithm for prevention clinical trials incorporating TOMM40'523 (Translocase of Outer Mitochondria Membrane) and APOE depends on accurate TOMM40'523-APOE haplotypes. METHODS: We have compared the APOE and TOMM40'523 phased haplotype...
