APOE ε4 is associated with younger age at ischemic stroke onset but not with stroke outcome
(2019) In Neurology 93(19). p.849-853- Abstract
- Stroke outcome is determined by a complex interplay, where age and stroke severity are predominant predictors. Studies on hemorrhagic stroke indicate that APOE genotype is a predictor of poststroke outcomes,1,2 but results from studies on ischemic stroke are more conflicting.1,3 There is 1 study suggesting an influence of APOE genotype on age at ischemic stroke onset,4 and sex-specific effects on outcome have been reported.5 Taken together, there is a need for larger studies on APOE and ischemic stroke outcomes with integrated information on age, severity, and sex.
The 3 common APOE alleles ε2, ε3, and ε4 can be separated by a combination of 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs429358 and rs7412. Thus, associations with...

The 3 common APOE alleles ε2, ε3, and ε4 can be separated by a combination of 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs429358 and rs7412. Thus, associations with APOE alleles are not directly captured in a regular genome-wide association study (GWAS), where each SNP is investigated separately. We derived the 3 common APOE alleles and investigated the interplay between APOE, age at ischemic stroke onset, severity, sex, and outcome within a large international collaboration, the Genetics of Ischaemic Stroke Functional Outcome (GISCOME) network.
