Abstract excerpt
To elucidate whether the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele (APOE4) affects cortical neuropathology in Parkinson's disease (PD), we determined APOE genotypes and quantified the densities of cortical Lewy bodies (LBs), amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in 22 autopsy-proven PD cases (12 with dementia; 10 without dementia) that were not accompanied by Alzheimer's disease. The APOE4 frequency in the demented...
