African ancestry APOE e4 non-carriers with higher educational attainment are resilient to Alzheimer disease pathology-specific blood biomarker pTau181.

Farid Rajabli, Azizi A Seixas, Bilçağ Akgün, Larry Deon Adams, Jovita D. Inciute, Takiyah D. Starks, Reneé A. Laux, Goldie S. Byrd, Jonathan L. Haines, Gary W. Beecham, Jeffery M. Vance, Michael L. Cuccaro, Margaret Ann Pericak‐Vance

This study finds that higher educational attainment in African ancestry individuals with AD pathology and APOE e4 non-carriers is associated with greater functional resilience.
