Abstract excerpt
We investigated the correlation between the apolipoprotein E varepsilon4 allele (apoE epsilon4) carrier status, a major risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and levels of tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 231 (P-tau(231P)) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in predementia and clinical stages of AD and healthy controls (HC). Thirty-one subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who had converted to AD...
