Pattern of gradient of apolipoprotein E allele *4 frequencies in western Europe.

Abstract excerpt

The apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) is located on chromosome 19. The three most common APOE alleles account for most of the corresponding peptide chain variations in most human populations. APOE*3 is the most common allele, coding for the product E3; APOE*2 codes for an Arg-158-->Cys substitution (E2), and APOE*4 codes for a Cys-112-->Arg product (E4). We completed a meta-analysis of APOE allele frequencies from 30...
