Importance Early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) is a rare form of Alzheimer disease (AD)
with a large genetic basis that is only partially understood. In late-onset AD, elevated
circulating cholesterol levels increase AD risk even after adjusting for the apolipoprotein E
ε4 (APOE E4) allele, a major genetic factor for AD and elevated cholesterol levels; however,
the role of circulating cholesterol levels in EOAD is unclear. Objectives To investigate the
association between circulating cholesterol levels and EOAD and to identify genetic variants …
