MR imaging findings in apoE genotype subgroups
| All (n = 36) | ε4 Allele Carriers (n = 8) | Non-ε4 Allele Carriers (n = 28) | 95% CI of the Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (y) | 44.9 (±11) | 47.5 (±7.9) | 44.2 (±11.7) | −4.2–10.9 |
| Percentage white matter hyperintensities | 8.2 (±5.9) | 8.6 (±6.4) | 8.1 (±5.9) | −5.1–6.0 |
| No. of lacunar infarcts | 8.8 (±12.6) | 13.1 (±14.7) | 7.5 (±11.9) | −7.1–18.3 |
| No. of microbleeds* | 2.4 (±6.5) | 1.3 (±2.6) | 2.7 (±7.3) | −4.8–1.9 |
| No. of persons with subcortical lacunar infarcts | 18 (50%) | 4 (50%) | 14 (50%) |
There is no significant difference in MR imaging findings between ε4 allele carriers and nonε4 allele carriers.
