Abbreviations: APOE, apolipoprotein E; TIV, total intracranial volume; SD, standard deviation; CI, confidence interval.
Number (%) with APOE genotype 24, 34, or 44.
A negative value of EYO indicates that a participant joined the study before their expected age of onset, based on parental age at onset; EYO values for noncarriers are only indicative; EYO values for overtly symptomatic mutation carriers do not reflect clinically determined actual age of onset.
Regional volumes were standardized to the mean TIV using a linear regression model.
P <.05 versus NC.
