“…In this regard, however, it is interesting to note that the frequency of APOE-4 in the proband, a risk factor for AD that is also associated with earlier onset [Saunders et al, 1993], did not differ by parental affection status in the subgroup of probands that could be genotyped. However, other yet to be identified genetic risk factors are also apparent in AD [Li et al, 1996]. Notwithstanding this alternative explanation, the intriguing possibility of paternal genetic imprinting should be further pursued.…”

“…The APO-E findings for late-onset Alzhei-mer disease is an example of such a susceptibility gene. The initial reports of linkage gave modest evidence, but subsequent studies have provided consistent evidence for an elevated risk to those carrying an e4 allele (Li et al 1996;Roses 1996).…”

“…La localizzazione dell'APO-E per il morbo di Alzheimer e un esempio di tale possibility i rapporti iniziali di un tale collegamento avevano fornito delle prove modeste, ma gli studi successivi hanno fornito una prova costante di un rischio elevato a quegli individui possessori dell'allele e4 (Li et al (1996), Rose (1996)). In generale, un tale risultato e anche da imputarsi al costante miglioramento dei metodi analitici; al perfezionamento dei programmi genetici e fisici ed ai risultati dell'analisi del QTL nei modelli di sistema.…”
