Cover Story: Perivascular spaces (PVSs) are pial-lined and interstitial fluid-filled spaces in the brain surrounding the cerebral vessel walls that can be detectable in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Enlargement of perivascular spaces (ePVSs) in the brain is common but is generally overlooked and is of uncertain pathophysiology. Identifying whether the genetic basis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) influences ePVS in cognitively unimpaired individuals may provide additional insights into the neurobiological abnormalities that underlie AD. This study aimed to investigate whether the genetic factors associated with AD, such as APOE and BIN1, are associated with ePVS burden. View this paper
