New Research on Why African ApoE 4 Do Not Get Alzheimers at the Rate Eupopeans do.

I apologize if this research has been posted before. I did not see it. Interesting that the African version of ApoE 4 in a bit different than than the European allele.

I'm interested in any comments.

One would think genes are "color-blind" but they're not. You can read more about this subject in our ApoE4.info wiki article: Non-white or non-European descent
