Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the effect of APOE4 status on myelin remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of APOE4 on myelin content in cognitively impaired individuals using T2* gradient echo (GRE)-based myelin water fraction (MWF) imaging. METHODS: Between August 2017 and January 2019, we evaluated 39 cognitively...
