Polymorphism: apoE haplotypes






Description:

e4 allele carriers live shorter lives than the non-e4 allele carriers

gene symbol = APOE (get() returned more than one Factor -- it returned 2! Lookup parameters were {'symbol': u'APOE', 'entrez_gene_id': u'348', 'species': })

entrez gene id = 348 (get() returned more than one Factor -- it returned 2! Lookup parameters were {'symbol': u'APOE', 'entrez_gene_id': u'348', 'species': })

odds_ratio = N/A (could not convert string to float: )
