In silico analyses of deleterious missense SNPs of human apolipoprotein E3

Abstract ApoE3 is the major chylomicron apolipoprotein, binding in a specific liver peripheral cell receptor, allowing transport and normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. Point mutations in ApoE3 have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease, type III hyperlipoproteinemia,...
