Abstract
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 effect is stronger in Peruvians/Bolivians than in other Hispanic/Latino groups. The strong APOE effect size in Peruvians and Bolivians was replicated in a second independent Peruvian cohort. Meta-analysis for ε4 and ε2 confirmed a significant association with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Global and local ancestry do not modify the association between APOE genotype and ADRD.
