摘要
The epsilon4 allele of APOE is a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD). By analysis of a large cohort of AD patients (n = 563) and control subjects (n = 118), it is shown that the epsilon4 allele is strongly associated with reduced CSF levels of beta-amyloid (1-42) (Abeta42) in both AD (p < 10(-9)) and control (p = 0.0012) populations. As no associations of APOE variants with other indexes of AD severity were observed, this effect may reflect a fundamental involvement of ApoE in A beta metabolism.
