title: Apolipoprotein E alleles but neither apolipoprotein B nor apolipoprotein AI/CIII alleles are associated with late onset, familial Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: The possibility of a genetic association between late onset, familial Alzheimer's disease and alleles at the apolipoprotein B and AI/CIII loci have been examined. In contrast to the genetic association with the apolipoprotein E locus, no evidence for genetic associations to these loci was found.
