Exceptionally low likelihood of Alzheimer’s dementia in APOE2 homozygotes

2019-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Each additional copy of the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer’s dementia, such that APOE4 homozygotes have a particularly high risk. While the APOE2 allele is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s dementia, it is not yet known whether APOE2 homozygotes have a particularly low risk. We generated Alzheimer’s dementia odds ratios and other findings...
