Abstract

The effect of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ϵ4 allele on age of onset was analyzed in two groups of families with early‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), (1) Volga German (VG) kindreds, in which AD is caused by an unknown locus and (2) early‐onset non‐VG families showing evidence of linkage to chromosome 14. The ϵ4 allele did not have a detectable effect on age of onset in either group. This finding suggests some forms of early‐onset familial AD are not modifiable by APOE status, or that AD can be caused by APOE‐independent pathways.
