"synthesis_summary": "Consensus: AD Master Plan preregistration: APOE is substantive enough for debate because it names APOE4 lipid dysregulation and synaptic phagocytosis as early drivers of AD pathology and can be tied to a concrete validation path: compare APOE4-to-APOE3 correction in neuron-microglia-astrocyte co-cultures with amyloid, lipid, and synapse engulfment readouts. Dissent: APOE genotype affects many cell types, so target conversion could rescue biomarkers without proving synaptic causality. The claim should remain under review until the falsifier or replication path is executed."
