Abstract excerpt
We performed a quantitative neuropathological investigation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brains of 14 Japanese patients with diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD), and examined apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism in these patients. Most DLBD brains had as many senile plaques as those with Alzheimer-type dementia (ATD), but fewer neurofibrillary tangles. The APOE epsilon 4 allele frequency...
