[PDF][PDF] Important link between dementia subtype and apolipoprotein E: a meta-analysis
OY Bang, YT Kwak, IS Joo, K Huh - Yonsei Medical Journal, 2003 - ymj.kr
To evaluate the differential diagnostic role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype in dementia,
we carried out a metaanalysis of 78 case-control series, including our own new data. The
dementia subjects were grouped into Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-AD. AD patients
were subgrouped according to their subtypes, and non-AD patients into vascular dementia
(VD), mixed dementia (MD), and non-AD non-VD dementia (NAVD). The apoE allele
frequencies and apoE genotype-specific odds ratio (OR) of each group were estimated. The …
