Short YouTube conversation (uploaded by Aaron Hartman, MD) focusing on the APOE E4 gene and its implications for participation in contact sports. Speakers state that carrying an E4 allele raises the risk of greater neurologic impairment after multiple concussions and suggest that children with E4 should avoid contact sports (football, ice hockey, rugby, soccer) and consider low-contact alternatives (e.g., golf).
