Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4-carrier status or ε4 allele count are included in analyses to account for the APOE genetic effect on Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, this does not account for protective effects of APOE ε2 or heterogeneous effect of ε2, ε3, and ε4 haplotypes. METHODS: We leveraged results from an autopsy-confirmed AD study to generate a weighted risk score for APOE (APOE-npscore). We...
