Abstract excerpt
We report here the distribution of apo E genotypes and allele frequencies in Asian Indians, Hungarians, and Papua New Guineans using the DNA based analysis. Frequency of the apo E4 allele was thrice as high in Papua New Guineans as compared to the Caucasians. The rare apo E2 allele was also present in higher frequency in the Papuas as compared to other populations.
