White matter microstructure is altered in cognitively normal middle-aged APOE-ε4 homozygotes
Abstract Background The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE-ε4) is the strongest genetic factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. During middle age, cognitively healthy APOE-ε4 carriers already show several brain alterations that resemble those of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but to a s...
