Apolipoprotein (APO) E isoforms E2, E3 and E4 detection
Main indication:
Alzheimer's risk assessment.
Test usage:
This test is to detect the presence of the APOE4 variant, which is associated with increased risk of late-onset (age >60-65) Alzheimer's disease (AD). Testing may be considered for patients with dementia to supplement information from clinical and other evaluations. APOE genotype results are E2/E2, E2/E3, E2/E4, E3/E3, E3,E4, or E4/E4. APOE genotyping supplies supplementary information for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
