Revisiting the genetics of APOE
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a lipid-transport protein expressed in almost all tissues, including the brain. In addition to lipid delivery, brain APOE also regulates amyloid beta clearance and aggregation. In humans, there are three main isoforms, APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4, with structural differences that influence protein function. APOE4 is the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s di...
متن کاملSUTTER The Relationship Between Human Population Genetics
~eneral terms. It might even be said that this aspect of research is frequently neglected. Blood-group experts are undoubtedly most directly responsible for this regrettable situation. Since one applies Fisher's formulas on the assumption that the blood groups are independent of age and sex, there is a tendency to confine research to any random sample of the population, which is only rarely rep...

متن کاملRevisiting the relationship of weight and height in early childhood.
Ponderal and linear growth of children has been widely studied; however, epidemiologic evidence of a relationship between the two is inconsistent. Child undernutrition in the form of low height for age and low weight for height continues to burden the developing world. A downward shift in the distribution of height for age in the first 2 y of life is commonly observed in many developing countri...
متن کاملPrimates, population genetics and human evolution1
We humans like to think of ourselves as special, set apart from the rest of the other primates by our ability to walk, talk, build complex structures, exhibit emotions, have special functions of structural genes and so on. But, recent discoveries of primatologists place other higher primates in most of these characteristic very close to humans. In contrast to creationists, evolutionists conside...
