Abstract:APOEgenotype is the strongest genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease, with the ϵ2 and ϵ4 alleles decreasing and increasing risk relative to the ϵ3 allele, respectively. Although evidence has been conflicting, several common infections have been associated with Alzheimer's disease risk, and interactions byAPOEϵ4 carriage have also been reported. Nevertheless, to date, no study has examined relationships betweenAPOEgenotype and measures of multiple common infections among large population-based s… Show more
