Astfel, APOE4 joacă un rol important în cazul traumelor suferite de către bariera sânge creier, responsabilă de protejarea ţesuturilor cerebrale de toxine. Acesta mai adaugă: Deteriorarea severă a celulelor vasculare numite pericite a fost legată de probleme cognitive mai severe în cazul persoanelor care prezentau APOE4.
