The objective of the study was to analyze the frequency of APOE4 allele in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia or depression; compare these to age/sex matched controls; compare the results with established literature and highlight new findings.A single center, multiple disease, case-control study was performed with three case groups- probable AD patients (n=36), vasc...
متن کاملEarly-versus late-onset Alzheimer's disease: more than age alone.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia at older age. Although less prevalent before the age of 65 years, it is still the most frequent cause of early-onset dementia followed by frontotemporal dementia. The typical presentation of AD is memory dysfunction, however, presentations with prominent cognitive impairment in other domains besides memory, like prominent apraxia, la...
متن کاملGenetic variability in SQSTM1 and risk of early-onset Alzheimer dementia: a European early-onset dementia consortium study
Meta-analysis of existing genome-wide association studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) showed subgenome-wide association of an intronic variant in the sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene with AD. We performed targeted resequencing of SQSTM1 in Flanders-Belgian AD patients selected to be enriched for a genetic background (n = 435) and geographically matched nonaffected individuals (n = 872) to investiga...
متن کاملA family study of Alzheimer disease and early- and late-onset depression in elderly patients.
BACKGROUND The substantial symptomatic overlap between depression and dementia in old age may be explained by common genetic vulnerability factors. METHODS We investigated this idea by comparing the occurrence of both disorders in first-degree relatives of 78 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), of 74 with late-onset depression (onset age of > or = 60 years), of 78 with early-onset depressio...
متن کاملEmotion Processing in Patients with Early- and Late-Onset Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

This study aimed at investigating emotion processing in patients with early- and late-onset TLE compared to a healthy group. Methods: In this causal-comparative study, 60 patients with diagnosed TLE were compared to 60 healthy controls to identify emotion processing styles. The d...
