Not all apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers who survive to advanced age develop Alzheimer's disease (AD); factors attenuating the risk of ε4 on AD may exist. Guided by the top ε4-attenuating signals from methylome-wide association analyses (N = 572, ε4+ and ε4-) of neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques, we conducted a meta-analysis for pathological AD within the ε4+ subgroups (N = 235) across four...
