What is APOE genotyping?

APOE genotyping is a blood test that identifies specific variations in the APOE gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein involved in fat metabolism and brain function. Understanding your APOE genotype can offer insights into certain health risks.

Why is this test important?

Certain APOE gene variations, particularly APOE ε4, are associated with an increased risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. This test can be used as a risk assessment tool, though it does not diagnose these conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
