Mapping the effect of APOE ε4 on gray matter loss in Alzheimer's disease in vivo
Previous studies suggest that in Alzheimer's disease (AD) the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele is associated with greater vulnerability of medial temporal lobe structures. However, less is known about its effect on the whole cortical mantle. Here we aimed to identify APOE-related patterns of cortical atrophy in AD using an advanced computational anatomy technique. We studied 15 AD patien...
متن کاملAnalysis of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in Alzheimer Disease.
Comment. Possessing an APOE ε4 allele is the most important genetic risk factor yet identified for sporadic AD and also significantly lowers onset age. It is therefore striking that despite their young age at onset, only 2 of our 10 biparietal patients were ε4-positive. While we believe that a lack of association between biparietal AD (or posterior cortical atrophy AD) and APOE ε4 genotype has ...
متن کاملAPOE4 allele in north Indian elderly patients with dementia or late onset depression-a multiple-disease case control study
The objective of the study was to analyze the frequency of APOE4 allele in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia or depression; compare these to age/sex matched controls; compare the results with established literature and highlight new findings.A single center, multiple disease, case-control study was performed with three case groups- probable AD patients (n=36), vasc...
متن کاملAssessing the Changes of Cortical Thickness in Alzheimer Disease With MRI Using Freesurfer Software
Introduction: In this study, we intend to determine the correlation between the thickness of the cerebral cortex and the severity of the cognitive disorder in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: A total of 20 (14 women and 6 men) patients diagnosed with AD with a Mean age of 72.95 years, and 10 (7 women and 3 men) cognitively normal (CN) subjects with a Mean age of 70.50 years were included in th...
متن کاملAPOE ε4 lowers age at onset and is a high risk factor for Alzheimer's disease; A case control study from central Norway
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to analyze factors influencing the risk and timing of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in central Norway. The APOE epsilon4 allele is the only consistently identified risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). We have described the allele frequencies of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) in a large population of patients with AD compared to the frequ...
