Chromosome 19: APOE gene and susceptibility to Alzheimer's, Matt Ridley
Description:
Interviewee: Matt Ridley
DNAi Location:
Genome>tour>genome spots>Alzheimer disease (AD)
Location: chromosome 1, 14, 19, 21
gene name: PS2 (or AD4); PS1 (or AD3);
APOE (Apolipoprotein E);
Alzheimer disease (AD) has been linked with mutations in four genes that are situated on chromosomes 1, 14, 19 and 21. Although Alzheimer disease appears to be caused by mutations in genes on chromosomes 14 and 21, an interesting association to the APOE gene has been linked with Alzheimer disease.
