Funtion Description Our findings suggest that carriage of E4+BDNFMet is associated with more pronounced memory dysfunction, a typical feature of early AD, but not with structural brain changes in aMCI patients. These findings suggest that in APOEE4/BDNF Met carriers, synaptic dysfunction affecting memory may precede pronounced structural changes.
