<i>Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (<scp>APOE</scp>‐</i>ε<i>4)</i> genotype is associated with decreased 6‐month verbal memory performance after mild traumatic brain injury

Abstract

The <i>APOE-</i>ε<i>4</i> allele may confer an increased risk of impairment of 6-month verbal memory for patients suffering mTBI, with implications for heightened surveillance and targeted therapies. Acute intracranial pathology remains the driver of decreased verbal memory performance at 6 months after mTBI.
