Abstract
The effect of apolipoprotein E genotypes on the occurrence of HIV deme ntia and HIV encephalitis was studied in a sample of 132 AIDS patients in whom clinical data on dementia was available and full autopsy had been performed. There was no statistically significant correlation bet ween risk of HIV dementia or HIV encephalitis in relation to apolipopr otein E genotypes, even after correction for length of survival with A IDS and antiretroviral treatment.
