Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the best-known susceptibility gene for AD. It has been well demonstrated that the ε4 allele of the APOE gene can affect brain structure/function in nondemented individuals; however, other polymorphisms in the APOE gene have been largely overlooked when assessing the effects of APOE on the neural system. Rs405509 is a newly recognized AD-related polymorphism located in the APOE promoter...
