Does possession of apolipoprotein E ɛ4 benefit cognitive function in healthy young adults?

Neuropsychologia - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

There is considerable evidence that the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 allele is associated with cognitive deficits in older persons, and is a risk factor for dementia. However, it has recently been suggested that possession of the ɛ4 allele may benefit cognition in early adulthood. We tested this possibility in 5445 community-dwelling persons aged 20-24, 40-44, and 60-64 years using a comprehensive battery of...
