Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, white matter lesions and Alzheimer encephalopathy - a histopathological assessment.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To describe a case of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) in an apolipoprotein (Apo) ε2/ε2 homozygote. BACKGROUND:Apo ε2/ε2 is the rarest of the ApoE genotypes, representing only 1.4% of the population. Cognitive decline in ApoE ε2 homozygotes has rarely been reported. CASE REPORT/METHODS:We report a 58-ye...
