摘要:
Haplotypes in the APOE gene associated with age of onset of Alzheimer’s Disease are disclosed. Compositions and methods for detecting and using these APOE haplotypes in a variety of clinical applications are disclosed. Such applications include articles of manufacture comprising compounds effective in delaying the age of onset of AD in individuals at risk for developing AD and having one of these APOE haplotypes, methods and kits for predicting the age of onset of AD in an individual at risk for developing AD based upon his/her haplotype profile, and methods for delaying the age of onset of AD in individuals at risk for developing AD based upon their haplotype profile.
摘要:
Genotypes and haplotypes for thirteen polymorphic sites in the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) gene are disclosed. Compositions and methods for predicting genetic predisposition to disease associated with polymorphic sites in the (β2AR) gene, as well as for predicting response to β-agonists, are also disclosed.
