Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E ( ApoE ) gene is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset AD. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is another important risk factor affecting the AD process after ApoE . Emerging evidence has identified TREM2 as a putative receptor for ApoE, raising the possibility that...
