We studied whether ApoE and -219 GT (ApoE promoter) polymorphism modulates neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) and senile plaque (SP) development in aging among 190 non-institutionalized individuals (mean age 79.5 years). Analysis revealed that the mean Braak stage was higher in epsilon4 allele carriers. Once individuals with Braak stage V were excluded (n = 5), relationships between NFT and the two genotypes studied...
