The effect of apolipoprotein E genotypes on the occurrence of HIV dementia and HIV encephalitis was studied in a sample of 132 AIDS patients in whom clinical data on dementia was available and full autopsy had been performed. There was no statistically significant correlation between risk of HIV dementia or HIV encephalitis in relation to apolipoprotein E genotypes, even after correction for length of survival with AIDS and antiretroviral treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
