Haplotypes of the apoe gene

摘要

Novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are described. In addition, various genotypes, haplotypes and haplotype pairs for the APOE gene that exist in the population are described. Compositions and methods for haplotyping and/or genotyping the APOE gene in an individual are also disclosed. Polynucleotides containing one or more of the APOE polymorphisms disclosed herein are also described.
