Here, we describe an innovative method to determine complement receptor 1 (CR1) length polymorphisms for use in several applications, particularly the assessment of susceptibility to diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This method could be useful to better understand the role of CR1 isoforms in the pathogenesis of AD.
