Sex differences in gene expression patterns associated with the APOE4 allele

2019-07-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The APOE gene encodes apolipoprotein ε (ApoE), a protein that associates with lipids to form lipoproteins that package and traffic cholesterol and lipids through the bloodstream. There are at least three different alleles of the APOE gene: APOE2 , APOE3 , and APOE4 . The APOE4 allele increases an individual's risk for developing late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD) in a dose-dependent mann...
