Why This Biomarker Matters

APOE genotype influences Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease risk. Knowing your status allows proactive lifestyle changes—diet, exercise, cognitive engagement—to potentially reduce disease risk.

Overview

The APOE gene has three variants (e2, e3, and e4) that influence how your body processes cholesterol and may affect Alzheimer's disease risk. Your combination of two alleles (your genotype) determines your genetic predisposition. The e4 variant is associated with higher Alzheimer's risk, while e2 may be protective. This genetic test provides information about inherited disease risk, though it does not diagnose disease. Many factors beyond genetics influence actual disease development.
