APOE Genotypes and Alzheimer’s Disease Risk in Older Ugandans
This study reveals the APOE genotyping patterns and their relation to AD risk in older Ugandans. The low frequency of APOE ԑ4 allele and its inverse association with AD risk are intriguing and warrant further investigation. Future studies should include larger and more representative samples, as well as other biomarkers and clinical measures of AD.
