Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 2 allele is a putative risk factor for cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related haemorrhage. We explored the frequency of the APOE epsilon 2 allele in intracranial haemorrhage due to three different pathophysiological mechanisms to determine the specificity of the association. APOE genotypes in 207 autopsies with intracranial haemorrhage (96 subarachnoid haemorrhage, 71 deep...
