A Haptoglobin (HP) Structural Variant Alters the Effect of <i>APOE</i> Alleles on Alzheimer’s Disease
2022-09-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Haptoglobin (HP) is an antioxidant of apolipoprotein E (APOE), and previous reports have shown HP binds with APOE and amyloid-β (Aβ) to aid its clearance.
