ApoE4 Genetic Risk Variant

From my blog article: “The ApoE4 Genetic Variant As A Risk Factor For Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease”…While this study did not delve into specific gene influences in LOAD, numerous studies have identified Apolipoprotein E4 variant (ApoE4), as a prominent genetic risk factor for LOAD.

About 25% of the population has one copy of ApoE4 and carriers with the the ApoE4 variant are estimated to make up approximately 40%-80% of the Alzheimer’s disease population.(2)” (Free Membership Required)
