  1. Early-onset versus late-onset Alzheimer's disease: the case of the missing APOE ɛ4 allele

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2010-12-22 Genetics

    Some patients with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) present with a distinct phenotype.

  2. GAB2 alleles modify Alzheimer's risk in APOE epsilon4 carriers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuron 2007-06-01 Genetics

    The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele is the best established genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).

  3. Plastic neuronal remodeling is impaired in patients with Alzheimer's disease carrying apolipoprotein epsilon 4 allele

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 1997-01-01 Genetics

    A relationship between the apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype and the risk to develop Alzheimer's disease has been established recently.

  4. Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele is associated with deposition of amyloid beta-protein following head injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Nature medicine 1995-02-01 Genetics

    Deposition of amyloid beta-protein (A beta) in the brain plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

  5. Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele distributions in late-onset Alzheimer's disease and in other amyloid-forming diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Lancet (London, England) 1993-09-01 Genetics

    The frequency of the allele for apolipoprotein E type 4 (epsilon 4) is increased in late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD).
