Re: newbie w/ MCI confused about how to dig deeper into apoe snps

Hello Syd! I just want to point our that not all MCI can be attributed to the APOE 4 gene. Epigenetics is a big factor. One thing that comes to mind and that I have had a personal journey with is exposure to mold. Has your house ever been water damaged or have you been exposed to a water damage buil...

Re: 23 and Me Kit Information

PMID 17192785] The researchers found that on testing DNA samples from 1,086 well-characterized Alzheimer's disease cases, a single SNP (rs4420638) lying 14 kb distal to the ApoE locus has a powerful association with late-onset AD (corrected p value was 5.3 x 10 e-34). No other SNP showed as robust ...

Re: 23 and Me Kit Information

Hello, I am not an expert but have looked at my reports and believe that the two genes they look at to determine status are rs7412 and rs429358. This article here gives a table (Table 2) on how your APOE status is determined using these 2 genes. https://www.gbhealthwatch.com/GND-High-Cholesterol-APO...
