High frequency of the apo epsilon 4 allele in Khoi San from South Africa.

Human genetics - 1 Jan 1995

Sandholzer C, Delport R, Vermaak H, Utermann G

Abstract excerpt

Variation at the apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene locus affects cholesterol concentrations, the risk for atherosclerosis and Alzheimer disease (AD), and is associated with longevity in Caucasians. We have determined apo E gene frequencies and effects on cholesterol levels in Khoi San (Bushmen) from South Africa. The frequency of the apo epsilon 4 allele (0.37), which confers dose-dependent susceptibility to...
