Figure 1. APOE-ε4 genotype and telomere attrition.
Dot plot illustrating age-adjusted change in leukocyte telomere length (TL) in carriers of the APOE-ε4 risk allele and non-carrier controls. APOE-ε4 carriers had significantly greater age-adjusted LTL shortening over the 2 year study period than non-carrier control participants [F(1,39) 4.89, p = .03].
