Abstract excerpt
An association between the epsilon 4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) was recently demonstrated. In order to confirm the association and to gauge the ability of standard genetic linkage methods to identify susceptibility genes, we investigated 15...
