Abstract

The apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE*ε4) allele is a well-established risk factor for cognitive decline, particularly among white individuals. A recent study highlights factors associated with cognitive resilience in both black and white APOE*ε4 carriers. Despite racial differences in the frequency and impact of APOE*ε4, resilience factors are similar across races.
