Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is a major genetic risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this work was to find if carrying ApoE4 alleles correlates with molecular changes associated with specific processes involved in AD pathophysiology and whether they are useful as early biomarkers of AD. Fifty four young healthy adults (aged 20-55) were recruited. Of these, 33 carried at least one...
