Interaction Information:

Comment Women in the highest tertile of most sphingomyelins (except SM C20 : 1) had a reduced risk of AD, which was most pronounced among APOE (isoform E4) carriers. These results provide further evidence for the role of sphingolipid metabolism in AD and highlight the importance of considering sex and APOE genotype in assessing this relationship.
