This study investigates whether apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 is associated with medial temporal tau pathology independently of amyloid-beta, sex, clinical status, and age.Importance Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE epsilon 4) is the single most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease. While APOE epsilon 4 is associated with increased amyloid-beta burden, its association with cerebral tau pathology has been controversial. Objective To determine whether APOE epsilon 4 is associated with medial temporal tau pathology independently of amyloid-beta, sex, clinical status, and age. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a study of 2 cross-sectional cohorts of volunteers who were cognitively normal, had mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or had Alzheimer disease dementia: the Translational Biomarkers in Aging and Dementia (TRIAD) study (data collected between October 2017 and July 2019) and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) (collected between November 2015 and June 2019). The first cohort (TRIAD) comprised cognitively normal elderly participants (n = 124), participants with MCI (n = 50), and participants with Alzheimer disease (n = 50) who underwent tau positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine 18-labeled MK6240 and amyloid-beta PET with [F-18]AZD4694. The second sample (ADNI) was composed of cognitively normal elderly participants (n = 157), participants with MCI (n = 83), and participants with Alzheimer disease (n = 25) who underwent tau PET with [F-18]flortaucipir and amyloid-beta PET with [F-18]florbetapir. Exclusion criteria were a history of other neurological disorders, stroke, or head trauma. There were 489 eligible participants, selected based on availability of amyloid-PET, tau-PET, magnetic resonance imaging, and genotyping for APOE epsilon 4. Forty-five young adults (
