PURPOSE: ApoE-e4 has a well-established connection to late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD) and is available clinically. Yet, there have been no analyses of payer coverage policies for ApoE. Our objective was to analyze private payer coverage policies for ApoE genetic testing, examine the rationales...
Results of his genetic testing for APOE were reported as follows: "This individual possesses an apolipoprotein E genotype (3 and 4) that indicates, with high specificity, that Alzheimer's disease is the cause of or a contributor to the observed dementia." 展开 关键词:...
It is important to understand that although carrying the ApoE E4 allele increases your likelihood of developing disease, it does not mean that you will. Genetic testing is about probabilities, not guarantees - and should always be interpreted in the light of other considerations such as ...
The 4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the dominant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the reason APOE4 is associated with increased AD risk remains a source of debate. Neuronal hyperactivity is an ... T Nuriel,SL Angulo,U Khan,... - 《Nature Co...
We each carry two of the APOE genes, and they can be numbered 2, 3 or 4. Genetic testing revealing that one or both APOE alleles is E4 does indicate that that individual carries an increased risk for cognitive decline and, specifically, Alzheimer’s disease. But carrying the APOE4 allele...
