The study shows homozygous R136S fully rescues APOE4-driven pathology while heterozygous provides only partial protection, but the mechanistic basis for this gene dosage effect is unexplained. Understanding this mechanism is critical for developing therapeutic strategies that could mimic R136S protection.
