 The E4 (epsilon 4) form of the APOE gene has been associated with disorders of lipid metabolism (increased plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels) and increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative conditions such Alzheimer’s disease.
This DNA test examines APOE SNPs and other genetic variances that may impact or protect the brain from the inflammation, toxins and synaptic degeneration associated with different types of Alzheimer’s disease.
Genes included:
APOE, TNF, IFN-gamma, BDNF, MTHFR, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1
