Does ApoE4 affect aspects of Alzheimer’s disease other than amyloidosis? Animal studies have hinted as much, and now several brain imaging studies seem to agree. In a preprint posted to medRχiv on ...

“I feel like he just dropped a bomb and then left,” Sam Preston said of a doctor telling her she carries the APOE4 gene ...

Alzheimer’s disease may be inherited more often than previously known, according to a new study that paints a clearer picture of a gene long known to be linked to the common form of dementia. The ...

For decades, scientists have known that people with two copies of a gene called apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) are much more likely to have Alzheimer's disease at age 65 than the rest of the population.

This article is the eighth installment in my series on Alzheimer’s disease. Read more about Alzheimer’s disease in part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, and part 7 of the series. If you are ...

NEW YORK, April 21 (Reuters) - APOE4 is the strongest risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's, the most common form of the disease that develops after the age of 65, according to the National ...

Compared to their glial neighbors, neurons make a small amount of apolipoprotein E. Yet when it comes in the form of ApoE4, the protein punches above its weight in the tauopathy-addled brain, ...

A team of neurologists affiliated with multiple institutions in Spain and the U.S. has found evidence that suggests up to 20% of all cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be attributable to double ...

For more than 30 years, Alzheimer’s researchers have thought of APOE4 as a major genetic risk factor for most cases of the devastating neurologic disease. But a new study published on Monday argues ...

Paradox: Eating more dietary omega-3s is associated with superior cognitive longevity. But there is not a strong signal for ...

Using human brain cells, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes discovered the cause of--and a potential solution for--the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, a gene called apoE4.
