Apolipoprotein A-IV phenotypes were determined by reprobing immunoblots initially typed for the apolipoprotein E polymorphism on a representative sample of Mexican-Americans from South Texas. Typings on 331 individuals gave frequency estimates of 0.928, 0.066, 0.003, and 0.003 for alleles 1, 2, 3, a
The genetic association between the E4 isoform of apolipoprotein E (apoE) and increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has prompted interest in the neurobiology of apoE and the possible relationship between lipoprotein metabolism in the brain and neurodegenerative disease. ApoE, a product of astr
