## Abstract We investigated the association between apolipoprotein E (__APOE__) alleles and genotypes and Parkinson disease (PD) in 229 unrelated Mexican Mestizo PD patients and 229 controls. Results showed that both __APOE__‐ε4 allele and __APOE__ ε4/ε3 genotype are associated with PD (OR = 1.736,
It was suggested that in contrast to the E4 allele, the E2 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE"2) has a protective effect for late-onset Alzheimer's disease and early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD). We studied the role of the APOE\*2 allele in the pathogenesis of EOAD in a Dutch population-b
