The consensus is to preserve this as a debated candidate, not a canonical world-model claim. Replication or rerun evidence should precede promotion into Atlas or market funding.
The debate supports carrying forward APOE4 lipid dysregulation and synaptic phagocytosis as early drivers of AD pathology only if a proximal endpoint changes before the late outcome. The decisive validation path is: compare APOE4-to-APOE3 correction in neuron-microglia-astrocyte co-cultures with amyloid, lipid, and synapse engulfment readouts.
