People were also tested to see if they had a variant of the APOE gene linked with Alzheimer's disease.

人们也进行了测试，看看他们与阿尔茨海默氏症相关的APOE基因是否变异。

"It will only be a good idea to know your APOE genotype when there's something we can do about it, " she says.

“只有当我们可以做出改变的时候，知道你的载脂蛋白E基因才 会是一件好事”，她说。

Also, the lab was able to read only part of my APOE gene, so it's impossible to say much about my risk for Alzheimer's.

另外，实验室只能读取我的部分APOE基因，所以并不能判断我患阿尔兹·海默症的风险。

In previous studies, Professor Holtzman's team has shown that both apoE and clusterin promote the formation of plaques.

People with AD are more likely to have an APOE e4 allele than people who do not develop AD.

Professor Holtzman said the next step was to determine whether human forms of apoE and clusterin also delay or prevent the development of plaques.
