APO E GENOTYPING

APOE genotyping is a genetic test that analyzes the APOE gene, which provides instructions for producing apolipoprotein E, a protein involved in cholesterol transport. This test identifies variations (alleles) in the APOE gene, namely e2, e3, and e4. The presence of specific APOE alleles, particularly e4, is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimers disease and cardiovascular disease.However, Its important to note that having an increased risk does not guarantee disease development, as other factors also contribute to these conditions.
