Abstract
Apolipoprotein E-ε4(APOE4) is recently known as a susceptibility gene or risk factor associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) . Association between APOE4 and probable AD was determined in Korean population. Twenty patients met the NINCDS-ADRDA probable AD criteria (M:F=7:13, Mean age: 70.1 yr)were compared with 146 controls without dementia (M:F=83:63, Mean age:63.6 yr). APOE genotype was determined by polymerase chain reaction and allele specific hybridization technique. APOE4 allele frequency (0.33 vs. 0.11, p<0.01) and proportion of carriers with APOE4(60% vs. 19%, p<0.01) were significantly increased in patient group. APOE4 genotype is also associated with late-onset sporadic AD in Korean, and APOE genotyping may be useful for differential diagnosis of AD for patients with dementia.
