We recruited 74 participants (25 probable AD, 24 amnestic mild cognitive impairment, and 25 cognitively normal older people) with known ApoE genotype (22 ApoE ε4 carriers and 52 noncarriers) and scanned them with three‐dimensional (3D) T1‐weighted (T1W) and 3D double inversion recovery (DIR) sequences. The gene discussed is APOE; the disease is Cognitive impairment.
