Interaction Information:
| Comment | Over 99% of AD cases are the age-related, late onset form of the disease, for which the greatest genetic risk factor is the APOE4 allele. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a major lipid transport protein of the central nervous system (CNS) that also mediates the transport and clearance of Abeta. Homozygous carriers of the APOE4 allele have a 12-fold increased risk of developing AD, compared with non-carriers. (cited information) |
