Abstract
Our meta-analysis demonstrates that the risk effect of APOE-e4*4 relative to APOE-e3*3 for Alzheimer's disease in the Japanese population is approximately 12-15-fold, comparable to that reported in Caucasian populations, rather than greater than 20-fold as previously reported.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Neurodegeneration, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, comprehensively covers neurodegeneration research at the molecular and cellular levels.
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases, fall under its purview. These disorders, often linked to advanced aging and characterized by varying degrees of dementia, pose a significant public health concern with the growing aging population. Recent strides in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these neurodegenerative disorders offer valuable insights into their pathogenesis.
