High sensitivity of laser-induced fluorescence detection in capillary gel electrophoresis for accurate apolipoprotein E genotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a product of a polymorphic gene. In the general population, it shows two major mutations, which lead to the appearance of three common alleles encoding for three protein isoforms. This polymorphism is important in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Accurate apoE phenotyping or genotyping has become essential in clinical laboratories, since the epsilon 4 allele has been associated...
