Abstract

Based on the Hardy–Weinberg theory and statistical studies, the authors analyzedthe prevalence of different APOE gene alleles in the populationto reveal the relatioship between the alelle structure of a phenotype and the risk for Alzheimer's disease. Based on the concept of dominant and recessive zygote structures of allelic polymorphism of the APOE gene, it was shown that there must be three phenotypes that determine the risk for Alzheimer's disease. The prevalence of these phenotypes in the human population was studied.
