  1. Values are mean (SD). All comparisons are made against the control group (APOE ε4 non-carriers with normal amyloid and MMSE > 27). APOE ε4 isoform is the protein fragment that is specifically encoded by the ε4 allele, average log-intensity value are provided (all non-carriers have values below the level of detection, Spellman et al., 2015)
