Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: White matter lesions (WMLs) are age-related manifestations of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ɛ4 allele is a risk factor for late onset AD and has been related to low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42 levels and to cerebrovascular disease. The present study analyzed the relationship between WMLs, ApoE-ɛ4 genotype, and low...
