Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE ε4) polymorphism is a known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of ApoE ε4 on white matter structural integrity in AD. METHODS: Subjects were 32 patients with probable AD (ApoE ε4-positive: n = 15) and 18 matched controls (ApoE ε4-positive: n = 6). All subjects were right-handed, evaluated using standard scales and genotyped at...
