Abstract excerpt
The ε4 allele of the gene Apolipoprotein E is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease. APOE ε4 has been associated with changes in brain structure in cognitively impaired and unimpaired subjects, including atrophy of the hippocampus, which is one of the brain structures that is early affected by AD. In this work we analyzed the impact of APOE ε4 gene dose and its association with age, on hippocampal...
