The apolipoprotein E type 4 allele (APOE-epsilon4) encodes the APOE lipoprotein, which through its lipid transport function plays a role in lipid metabolism. APOE-epsilon4 has been found to be a major risk factor for late familial or sporadic AD, with a strong gene-dosage effect such that the number of APOE-epsilon4 alleles correlated positively with the risk of developing AD and the age of onset (Corder et al., 1993).
