APOE ε4 allele is the genetic risk factor and ε2
allele is the protective factor of Alzheimer’s disease
(AD). However, the similar influences of the two alleles
on the brain function have challenged the conceptual
framework that the altered brain functions are directly
linked to AD development. Given aging is another risk
factor of AD, we utilized the resting-state functional
connectivity approach to demonstrate that the opposite
aging trajectories may contribute to the different AD
risks between the two alleles, indicating the
antagonistic pleiotropic property of APOE polymorphism
and the necessity for including aging in AD related
imaging genetics study.
