Apolipoprotein E genotype and Alzheimer's disease in Hong Kong elderly Chinese
Y T Mak et al. Neurology. 1996 Jan.
Abstract
We studied the apolipoprotein E (apoE) allele frequencies in 65 Chinese patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 82 age- and sex-matched controls. The apoE epsilon 4 allele frequency was significantly higher in the AD group than in the control group (0.169 versus, p < 0.01). There were five homozygotes for epsilon 4 in the AD group but none among the controls. The odds ratio for AD was 1.6 for epsilon 4 heterozygotes. The age at onset was lower in the presence of the epsilon 4 allele and higher with the epsilon 2 allele, although neither of these differences reached statistical significance. The association between apoE alleles and AD previously reported in Caucasian populations was also present in this reports of lower prevalence of AD compared with the prevalence of multi-infarct dementia.
