摘要
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), the lipoprotein receptor related protein (LRP) and alpha-2 macroglobulin (alpha 2M) have been proposed as a functional complex involved in amyloid clearance, a crucial event for Alzheimer's disease development. In this work, we present an epidemiological approach aimed to study the interactions among these genes, age and gender. This approach did not reveal significant associations between the genes; however, the present study indicated that the risk associated with APOE promoter and LRP gene polymorphisms is modulated by gender.
