Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E allele 4 (apo E epsilon 4) is known to be in genetic disequilibrium with Alzheimer's disease and is associated with an earlier age at onset of dementia. Whether apo E epsilon 4 is a specific risk factor for Alzheimer's disease or is a more general susceptibility factor that shift...
