Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, and studies have shown that manipulation of pathways involving LRP8/ApoER2 can lead to the disease. Certain alleles, such as apoe, app, ps1 and ps2, may lead to being genetically predisposed to the disease. [13] A decrease in LRP8 expression is observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer’s neurofibrillary tangles show a preference to form in the CA1, which is one of the major areas in which Hb’s have been observed. [2] There are a larger number of Hb’s found in people with Alzheimer’s disease than those without the disease. [ 4 ]
