Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), a polymorphic plasma protein, plays a pivotal role in lipid transportation. The human apoE gene possesses three major alleles (ε2, ε3, and ε4), which differ by single amino acid (cysteine to arginine) substitutions. The ε4 allele represents the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas the ε2 allele protects against the disease. Knowledge of a patient's apoE...
