Alzheimer’s disease risk variants in ApoE affect cholesterol metabolism. Schematic representation of ApoE allelic variants and their consequences. Single amino acid changes in ApoE confer different risk for LOAD. Conformational change of the protein structure by expression of the different ApoE alleles changes LDL receptor binding and lipid particle binding capacity, which might affect brain cholesterol metabolism (BioRender, 2021).
