ApoE4 has recently been described to increase neurodegeneration in a mouse model of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), in vitro, and in patients, demonstrating that ApoE4 modifies tauopathy independently of A¦Â. This raises the question whether ApoE genotype also modifies the clinical phenotype in patients with FTD with tau pathology %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6430720/
