<i>APOE</i>loss-of-function variants: Compatible with longevity and associated with resistance to Alzheimer’s Disease pathology
2023-07-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The ε4 allele of apolipoprotein E ( APOE ) is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Knockdown of this allele may provide a therapeutic strategy for AD, but the effect of APOE loss-of-function (LoF) on AD pathogenesis is unknown. We searched for APOE LoF variants in a large cohort of older controls and patients with AD and identified six heterozygote carriers of A...
