Polymorphism of ApoE in Alzheimer's Disease: Genetic Study in Castile and Leon (Spain)
This study is collecting cheek swabs from people in the Castile and Leon region of Spain to map how common the APOE4 gene variant is among people with and without Alzheimer's. Researchers also want to know whether APOE4 carriers in this region have different cholesterol levels. This is a genetic observational study, not a drug trial — no treatment is being tested.
