<i>APOE</i>ε4 carriership associates with microglial activation independently of Aβ plaques and tau tangles
2022-07-13
Abstract excerpt
Microglial activation is an early phenomenon in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that may occur prior to and independently of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation. Recent studies in transgenic animal models suggest that the apolipoprotein E ε4 ( APOE ε4) allele may be a culprit of early microglial activation in AD. However, it is unclear whether the APOE ε4 genotype is associated with microglial reactivity in the living human brain...
