Abstract excerpt
Apoliprotein E (apoE) is associated with Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles and beta-amyloid protein in senile plaques. Recent studies have shown an increased frequency of the epsilon 4 allele of the apoE gene in familial and sporadic cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present case control study, we have determined the apoE genotype by allele-specific extension of 113 postmortem cases of sporadic AD and...
