Link between Epsilon4 allele heterozygotes and Alzheimer’s diseas

Professor Mehul Trivedi and his colleagues from University of Wisconsin Medical School and William S. Middleton Memorial VA Hospital have reported that individuals with apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele has been linked // to a reduced brain activity in the hippocampal region in these persons and pos...

Heterozygous carriers – who possess only one copy of the causative gene variant – appear normal, although some reports have suggested that heterozygotes may have an increased risk of cancer. Using microarray technology, which simultaneously ascertains the expression patterns of thousands of genes, ...

However, there are exceptions to the way heterozygotes express themselves in the phenotype. One exception is incomplete dominance (sometimes called blending inheritance ) when alleles blend their trait...
