APOE and early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease: We examined the genetic architecture of postoperative delirium after major surgery and its relationship with related cognitive conditions (delirium of any type and Alzheimer's disease, including the APOE ε4 allele).<h4>Methods and findings</h4>A case-control GWAS was performed in the UK Biobank to identify genetic variants associated with postoperative delirium, adjusted for age, sex, genetic chip, and the first 10 principal components.
