“…Recently, it has been shown that younger carriers of ε 2 allele have more gray matter in the hippocampus and rely more on hippocampal-dependent strategies in tasks of navigation than noncarriers (Konishi et al., 2016). In contrast, other studies have found performance disadvantages in attention-related tasks in ε 2 carriers in middle and old age, compared with ε 3 carriers (Lancaster et al., 2016, Lancaster et al., 2017). Considering these complicated effects of the APOE ε 2 allele on cognitive performance, future studies should aim to examine the role of all APOE alleles on behavior, across aging, to provide a more comprehensive phenotypical description of this gene on behavior and its relationship with AD.…”

“…The inconsistent null pattern in some studies may derive from methodological issues, including differences in age, cognitive measures, sample size, and other cognitive risk factors [36,48]. It is noteworthy that the differential effects of APOE ε4 on cognition during different life stages represents an example of antagonistic pleiotropy [63]: a reduced or null negative effect is observed in middle age [50,64]; a reversed positive effect is observed in young adults [49]; and the effect size in the elderly is also affected by age [48]. Thus, any APOE -related study must take into account the interaction between age and the APOE gene.…”

“…The AP effect of APOE suggests that it would be fundamental to precisely define the specific periods of life to investigate and in which of those periods AP effects take place [145]. In fact, during earlier periods of life, the deleterious effects of APOE 4 vs. APOE 2 appear to be paradoxically reversed in some cases in respect to older age [31,129,146,147]. Although studies focusing on the allelic effects of APOE on young adults and children are relatively rare, a series of recent analyses evidenced an increased risk for poorer outcomes in APOE 2- vs. APOE 4-carriers in pediatric populations [130].…”
