Metabolic interaction between ApoE genotype and onset age in Alzheimer’s disease: implications for brain reserve

Background: Clinically apparent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is thought to result when brain tissue damage exceeds a critical threshold of “brain reserve”, a process possibly accelerated by the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) E4 allele. The interaction between onset age and ApoE genotype was investigated to ass...
