Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To examine the association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism and retinal microvascular signs in an older population. METHODS: Retinal photographs were taken of 2,152 participants (1,831 whites, and 321 African-Americans), aged 69-96 years, who were participating in a population-based study of four United States communities. We used standardized protocols to assess photographs for the...
