Mild cognitive impairment subjects from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study were categorized into β-amyloid-low and β-amyloid-high groups, based on quantitative analysis of [18F]florbetapir PET scans, and APOE ε4 non-carriers and carriers based on genotyping. Here, APOE is linked to early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease.
