Abstract excerpt
The E*4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) but the underlying mechanism is unknown. The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is directly involved in APOE metabolism and therefore may alter the risk of AD associated with APOE. Tw...
