Spatial Navigation and APOE in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

Original language description

Background: The effect of APOE epsilon 4 allele (epsilon 4) on spatial navigation in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is unknown. Objective: Our purpose was to examine the characteristics of spatial navigation impairment in epsilon 4-positive (epsilon 4+) and epsilon 4-negative (epsilon 4-) aMCI subgroups. Methods: Blood samples were collected to determine the APOE genotype. A total of 34 aMCI patients were stratified into aMCI-epsilon 4- (n = 23) and aMCI-epsilon 4+ (n = 11) groups. Control (n= 28) and mild Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 16) groups were also used. We used a human analogue of the Morris water maze (enclosed arena 2.9 m in diameter) to examine body-centered (egocentric) and world-centered (allocentric) spatial navigation. Results: The aMCI-epsilon 4+ group performed poorer on spatial navigation than the aMCI-epsilon 4-group in both egocentric and allocentric tasks even though these 2 groups did not differ in global cognitive functioning or neuropsychological tes
