APOE and Alzheimer disease: Many risk factors have been proposed to be significant contributors to the onset of AD such as: (i) nongenetic factors such as toxins, viruses, prions, head trauma, low level of education and (ii) genetic factors such as gene mutations (AβPP, amyloid-β precursor protein; PS1, presenilin-1; PS2, presenilin-2; ApoE, apolipoprotein E; and Down syndrome) [3].
