We determined apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes in 122 autopsied demented patients. The frequency of the ApoE epsilon 4 allele was 39.6% in Alzheimer's disease (AD), 29.0% in the Lewy body variant of AD (LBV), and 6.25% in diffuse Lewy body disease. For AD and LBV patients, the epsilon 4 frequency was significantly higher than that reported in nondemented controls (10 to 15%). Therefore, LBV and AD share ApoE epsilon 4 as a genetic risk factor, providing further evidence that these conditions overlap.
我们对122例经尸检的痴呆患者进行了载脂蛋白E(ApoE)基因型测定。在阿尔茨海默病(AD)中,ApoE ε4等位基因的频率为39.6%,在AD路易体变异型(LBV)中为29.0%,在弥漫性路易体病中为6.25%。对于AD和LBV患者,ε4频率显著高于非痴呆对照者报告的频率(10%至15%)。因此,LBV和AD共有ApoE ε4作为遗传风险因素,这为这些病症存在重叠提供了进一步证据。
