Effect of Apolipoprotein E Allele ε4 on the Initial Phase of Amyloid β-Protein Accumulation in the Human Brain
Open accessAbstract
Deposition of amyloid ss-protein (Ass), a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, occurs to some extent in the brains of most elderly individuals. We sought to learn when Ass deposition begins and how deposition is affected by apolipoprotein E allele epsilon4, a strong risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Using an improved extraction protocol and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we quantified the levels of Ass40 and Ass42 in the insoluble fractions of brains from 105 autopsy cases, aged 22 to 81 years at death, who showed no signs of dementia. Ass40 and Ass42 were detected in the insoluble fractions from all of the brains examined; low levels were even found in the brains of patients as young as 20 to 30 years of age. The incidence of significant Ass accumulation increased age-dependently, with Ass42 levels beginning to rise steeply in some patients in their late 40's, accompanied by much smaller increases in Ass40 levels. The presence of the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele was found to significantly enhance the accumulation of Ass42 and, to a lesser extent, that of Ass40. These findings strongly suggest that the presence of epsilon4 allele results in an earlier onset of Ass42 accumulation in the brain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
