The APOE ε4 carriers included 2 homozygotes and 13 heterozygotes.
APOE ε4 homozygote with significant pathology excluded (all remain nonsignificant with inclusion, p > 0.05).
2-tailed separate-variance t-test, p < 0.05.
2-tailed separate-variance t-test, p < 0.05, reported P Bonferroni-corrected for multiple comparisons.
