The Impact of the Apolipoprotein E Genotype on Cardiovascular Disease and Cognitive Disorders.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays a critical role in cholesterol transport and protection against the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Humans have 3 prevalent isoforms of ApoE: apolipoprotein E2 (ApoE2), apolipoprotein E3 (ApoE3), and apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4). The E4 allele has been associated with higher ASCVD risk.

Cerebellar pathology and disability worsening in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: A retrospective analysis from the CombiRx trial.

Background And Purpose: Cerebellar damage is a valuable predictor of disability, particularly in progressive multiple sclerosis. It is not clear if it could be an equally useful predictor of motor disability worsening in the relapsing-remitting phenotype.

Aim: We aimed to determine whether cerebellar damage is an equally useful predictor of motor disability worsening in the relapsing-remitting phenotype.
