“Reduce APOE” is an oversimplified view. The mechanisms by which the AD-associated E4 genotype (arg112, arg158) results in disease are still poorly understood. The main therapeutic hypothesis for AD is to reduce the levels of pathogenic plaques and aggregates using antibodies.

Interesting. And these studies have shown that medicine which reduces these plaques doesn't actually help with AD symptoms?
