Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of genetic mutations in APOE, APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 genes associated with Alzheimer's disease risk.
📊

No mutation detected

Lower genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease based on tested genes.

📊

Mutation detected

Increased genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease; consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are present, or if there is a family history of Alzheimer's, consult a neurologist or genetic counselor.

Limitations

  • ⚠Does not definitively diagnose Alzheimer's disease; indicates genetic risk only.
  • ⚠May not detect all rare mutations.
  • ⚠Results require clinical correlation.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising at puncture site
  • ●Rare infection risk
  • ●Minimal discomfort during blood draw

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Improper storage
  • ●Insufficient sample volume
