摘要: Objective: To determine the relationship between apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype and neuropathologic lesions in Alzheimer9s disease (AD) Lewy body variant (LBV). Design: Retrospective genetic-neuropathologic study of AD LBV cases. The main outcome measures were modeled as a function apoE genotype, diagnosis, gender. Age at death duration symptom effects controlled for by ANCOVA. Patients: One hundred twenty-seven cases with neuropathologically diagnosed (n = 84) or 43). Main measures: Quantitative scores neuritic plaques (NPs), neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) severity, CAA prevalence averaged across four brain regions: midfrontal, inferior parietal, superior temporal, hippocampal. Results: epsilon 4 allele was associated increased NPs within both LBV. an frequency groups combined alone. While severity NFTs 4/4 homozygous when combined, there no significant Conclusions: is strongly NPs, but not neocortical NFTs, NEUROLOGY 1996;47: 190-196
