Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the effect of genotypes of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) on the pathologies found in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its related gene expression in 38 aged human brains obtained from consecutive autopsied cases. ApoE2/3, -3/3, -3/4, and -4/4 were typed in those aged brains, with ApoE3/3 being most prevalent. The AD pathologies were undetectable in ApoE2/3 brains, but were frequently observed in the...
