These patients represent a group that is distinct from the more typical amnestic presentation in several respects: (1) early symptom onset, typically in the 5th-7th decades; (2) lack of family history; (3) ApoE4-negative in the majority; (4) MRI showing general cortical atrophy (and in some cases, cerebellar atrophy, as well) rather than hippocampal atrophy out of proportion to the rest of the cerebrum; (5) FDG-PET may show reductions in glucose utilization beyond the typical temporal-parietal distribution. Here, APOE is linked to Cerebellar atrophy.
