   Proposal Description:
   To correlate incidence of TBI together with the presence of APOE alleles to the onset of LOAD.    My area of focus for my project is to study data files to ascertain a correlation between the severity of a traumatic brain injury, the genetic possession of the APOE e4 allele, and the age of onset of LOAD.  I intend to use the data file from the NACC database and the statistics program "Minitab."
