Background  Different clinical subtypes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) involve heterogeneous underlying etiologies. This study investigated the association between demographics, neuropsychological performance, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures in patients with MCI (amnestic [aMCI] and non-amnestic [naMCI]).    Methods  This case–control study included 130 aMCI patients, 58 naMCI patients, and 1,106 healthy controls (HCs). APOE genotypes, medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA), neurological evaluation results, and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) were investigated. Serum folate and vitamin B12 concentrations were analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and plasma hyperhomocysteinemia (Hcy) was assessed by a high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method.    Results  Serum folate levels were significantly lower, but plasma Hcy levels were higher, in patients with aMCI and naMCI than in healthy controls. There were significantly higher MTA scores in the aMCI group than the healthy control group. Multiple linear regression showed that serum Hcy and folate concentrations were positively associated with MTA ( p  &amp;lt; 0.05), while APOE4 showed a significant negative association with MTA in the aMCI group ( p  &amp;lt; 0.01). In addition, moderate/severe WMH showed a significant negative association with MTA in the naMCI and HC groups ( p  &amp;lt; 0.01).    Conclusion  The combined presence of APOE4 and Hcy is associated with aMCI in elderly individuals, while moderate/severe WMH is related to naMCI, which suggests etiological differences across MCI subtypes.
