Distribution of APOE gene variations in the Jordanian population: Association with longevity

2018-08-10

Abstract excerpt

APOE gene common variants, known as ε2, ε3 and ε4, can modulate the risk of several age- associated diseases in human. The aim of the current investigation was to investigate the distribution of APOE gene variations and their contribution to human longevity in Jordan. The genotypes of the APOE gene were identified in 203 subjects (101 young and 102 older adults) using polymerase chain reaction. Allele frequencies...
