Interaction Information:
| Comment | The E4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset AD. Compared to non-carriers, heterozygous carriers of one E4 allele are 3‚Äď4 times more likely to develop AD, whereas the risk for homozygous carriers is even higher. The APOE E4 allele is specifically associated with an earlier age of onset of AD. |
