Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the expression of APOE is not clearly understood. For example, it is unclear whether AD patients have elevated or decreased APOE expression or why the correlation levels of APOE RNA and the ApoE protein differ across studies. Likewise, APOE has a single CpG island (CGI) that overlaps with its...
