APOE genotype and extent of bleeding and outcome in lobar intracerebral haemorrhage: a genetic association study.

Lancet Neurol. 2011 Aug;10(8):702-9, PMID: 21741316

Carriers of APOE ε2 and ε4 have an increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in lobar regions, presumably because of the effects of these gene variants on risk of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We aimed to assess whether these variants also associate with severity of ICH, in terms of haematoma volume at presentation and subsequent outcome.
