Nigerians Have One of the Highest Rates of the ApoE4 Gene Variant on Earth. They Also Have Almost No Alzheimer's. Here's What That Means. On a traditional diet with traditional cultural practices, the ApoE4 gene — which in Western populations dramatically raises Alzheimer's risk — produces almost no disease. The genetic variant is present. The Alzheimer's is not. That paradox is one of the most important findings in dementia research. It confirms what epidemiology has always argued: there is no single cause. Genetics create risk. Lifestyle, diet, and environment determine whether that risk becomes disease.
