Abstract

A number of published case-control studies reported that the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism was associated with the mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, previous reports still remain conflicting. To estimate the association between ApoE polymorphism and MCI susceptibility, we searched the electronic databases including PubMed, Wanfang, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP, and EMBASE to retrieve all available studies. A total of 18 studies with 2,004 cases and 3,705 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis based on selected studies showed that statistically significant risk association was found between ApoE gene polymorphism and MCI in overall population (ε4 vs ε3: odds ratio [OR] =2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.11-2.68; ε4/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =4.45, 95% CI: 3.06-6.48; ε2/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =2.57, 95% CI: 1.77-3.73; ε3/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =2.31, 95% CI: 1.99-2.69). However, no significant association was detected in two genetic models: ε2 versus ε3 (OR =0.90, 95% CI: 0.77-1.05) and ε2/ε2 versus ε3/ε3 (OR =0.91, 95% CI: 0.50-1.65). Furthermore, ApoE ε2/ε3 genotype provided a slight protection for MCI in overall population (ε2/ε3 vs ε3/ε3: OR =0.80, 95% CI: 0.66-0.97). In the stratified analysis based on ethnicity, similar results were also observed in Chinese population (significant risk: ε4 vs ε3: OR =2.52, 95% CI: 2.19-2.90; ε4/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =5.45, 95% CI: 3.41-8.70; ε2/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =2.59, 95% CI: 1.74-3.86; ε3/ε4 vs ε3/ε3: OR =2.34, 95% CI: 1.97-2.79; slight protection: ε2/ε3 vs ε3/ε3: OR =0.79, 95% CI: 0.64-0.98; no association: ε2 vs ε3: OR =0.92, 95% CI: 0.78-1.09; and ε2/ε2 vs ε3/ε3: OR =1.04, 95% CI: 0.55-1.99). In summary, this meta-analysis of 5,709 subjects suggested that ApoE ε4 allele was associated with an increased risk of MCI. In addition, ApoE ε2/ε3 genotype provided a slight protection for MCI.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 November 2017.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Interventions in Aging
#1,550
of 1,968 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#264,227
of 340,752 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Interventions in Aging
#50
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,968 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.1. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,752 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
