| Abstract | Apolipoprotein E gene (Apoε) has three common alleles (ε2, ε3, and ε4), of which ε4 has been shown to be associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Possible additional genetic factors, like the −491A variant of ApoE promoter may modify the development of AD, independently of the ApoE allele status. The objective of this study was to investigate whether A/T allelic polymorphism at site−491 of the ApoE promoter is associated with AD in a Hungarian population. The genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 52 late-onset AD and 53 control individuals was used as a template for the two examined polymorphisms and PCR assay was applied. The ε4 allele was significantly over-represented in the AD group (28%) as compared with the control population (7%). No significant differences have been found between the control and the AD populations regarding the occurrence of the promoter A allele frequencies (control: 77%, AD: 70%). However, the AA genotype was more frequent in the AD group (48%) than in the control (10%) when the presence of ε4 allele was also considered. It is unlikely therefore that the −491A variant of the ApoE promoter gene is an independent risk factor in the Hungarian AD population, but a linkage disequilibrium exists between the two examined mutations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
