Apolipoprotein E (APOE) Genotype (Alzheimer's & Cardiac Screening)

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) Genotype testing examines variations in the APOE gene, specifically the ε2, ε3, and ε4 alleles.

These variations are associated with different risks for Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular conditions.

Each allele has different effects on health. For instance, the ε4 allele is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, particularly in older adults. On the other hand, the ε2 allele is linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease.
