Abstract

Investigators at Brown University, Providence, RI, and other imaging genetic centers in the US, compare MRI measurements of white matter myelin water fraction (MWF) and gray matter volume (GMV) in healthy infant carriers and noncarriers of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) e4 allele, the major susceptibility gene for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD).
