Sumario:The APOE ε4 allele is a strong genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, whereas the APOE ε2 allele is protective. Here the authors show that mice expressing the human APOE ε2/ε2 genotype have increased tau pathology and related behavioral deficits; they also find that the APOE ε2 allele is associated with an increased burden of tau pathology in postmortem human brains with progressive supranuclear palsy.
