The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene appears functionally monomorphic in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).

The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene appears functionally monomorphic in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).

<h4>Background</h4>The human apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is polymorphic, with three primary alleles (E2, E3, E4) that differ at two key non-synonymous sites. These alleles are functionally different in how they bind to lipoproteins, and this genetic variation is associated with phenotyp...
