Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a well-recognized risk factor for late-life cognitive decline. However, few studies have examined individual differences in sex and genetics, which may modify risk. We examined sex differences in gene-TBI interactions for dementia risk genes apolipoprotein E (APOE) and selected brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in predicting...
