Abstract excerpt
The APOE epsilon4 allele is a strong genetic susceptibility factor for Alzheimer's disease. Interaction with other biological factors may modulate the effect of the apoE isoforms. However, previous work suggested that other genetic variability within the APOE locus, influencing the effect of the epsilon4 allele, may exist. Such variability could modify the expression of the APOE gene and, in particular, the level...
