The Rotterdam Scan Study [16] reported that healthy older individuals with strictly lobar MBs have an exceedingly high frequency of the apolipoprotein E-ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele (compared with patients with MBs not strictly confined to lobar regions), which is in agreement with increased APOE-ε4 frequencies seen in patients with ‘probable CAA’. Here, APOE is linked to Mobius syndrome.
