Abstract excerpt

Current advances have shown the apolipoprotein E (APOE)-epsilon 4 allele to be highly associated with late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Western populations. The association of APOE allele frequencies and dementia remain unknown in populations from developing countries. We recently initiated a project to examine APOE frequencies in non-demented and demented elderly East Africans. Blood...
