The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene has been confirmed as the major genetic risk factor for the conversion of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study was to assess whether there was a specific interaction of APOE by the aging process on brain morphology in aMCI.
