Variation in APOE, notably the ϵ4 allele, profoundly shapes risk and severity of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet how it remodels human microglial states remains unresolved. We combine spatially resolved proteomic profiling with single-nuclear multiomic analyses to define microglial organization across APOE3/3 and APOE4/4 genotypes in AD. Quantifying condition-associated variation across the cellular manifold reveals a continuous landscape of microglial states. APOE4/4 shifts cells towar
