Although previous association studies have demonstrated that the APOE4 allele is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), its value for the prediction of AD in individuals is <100%. The limited predictive value of ⑀4 is also seen in multiply affected families where the ⑀4 allele is not tightly li

Recent evidence for mitochondrial mutations associated with Alzheimers disease (AD) suggests the possibility of maternal transmission of this illness. We investigated this hypothesis by examining, in a variety of ways, the risk of a primary progressive dementia (PPD) in the parents (n = 650) and sib

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) helps transfer lipids from lipoprotein particles to cells. In the brain, LPL is present in Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid plaques. LPL binds apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipoprotein particles and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), an ApoE receptor. Since po
