We examined the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes of 19 middle-aged non-demented subjects with cerebral amyloid beta protein (Abeta) deposits, and compared the results with those of 16 patients with sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and those of 34 age-matched controls. The frequency of the ApoE epsilon4 allele was higher (P = 0.0256) in these 19 subjects (0.211) than in controls (0.059), and was close to that in...
