Apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) is the most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Elevated blood C-reactive protein (CRP) further increases the risk of AD for people carrying the APOE ε4 allele. We hypothesized that CRP, as a key inflammatory element, could modulate the impact of other genetic variants on AD risk. We selected ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in reported AD...
