Why does APOε starts from ε1?

APOε1 is extremely rare in human body and scientists have selected APO group to start from ε1 ! An allele which is very rare in human body, but whyyy??

How APOs are named and numbered??

Are you talking about Apopropanolol I'd so this should be moved to one of the medical forums and not the astronomy forum.

Once you confirm I can move the thread for you

APOε1 is only hypothetical from what I Googled. Although it hasn't been found, they appear to have surmised a likely structure for it and that's perhaps why it is labelled first, because it would be first in the series for a sequence of molecular structures, or some other property.
