Abstract excerpt

Recent data have demonstrated genetic disequilibrium between inheritance of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) epsilon 4 allele and increased risk of Alzheimer disease. We tested the idea that inheritance of other allelic variations of apoE might also increase or decrease the risk of developing Alzheime...
