<i>APOE</i> Polymorphism, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Cognitive Function

Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the apolipoprotein E ε4 polymorphic allele (APOE ε4) and with worse cognitive function. However, the influence of APOE ε4 on cognitive function in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA is controversial. The present study evaluated...

Description
Summary:Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the apolipoprotein E ε4 polymorphic allele (APOE ε4) and with worse cognitive function. However, the influence of APOE ε4 on cognitive function in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA is controversial. The present study evaluated the influence of APOE ε4 polymorphism and cognitive function in sedentary OSA patients with no other major comorbidities.
