Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown a genetic association of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 allele with late onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study we analysed the possible association of the genetic polymorphism of the ApoE gene with age of onset in Italian familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) families including two early onset familial Alzheimer's (EOFAD) families with the APP717...
