Re: Confusion about genetic ApoE status (direct genotyping vs. predictive SNP)

A great Thank You to everyone who contributed to this thread and the whole forum. Personally, the worst thing is not knowing. rs429358 TT and rs7412 CC alone tell me I am in the average ApoE3/3 risk group, but it is so hard to believe when the other odds are terribly against me. Maybe this is overly...

Re: Confusion about genetic ApoE status (direct genotyping vs. predictive SNP)

Thank you very much for welcoming me with such an awesome and in-detail reply. So here's a question for you first: I put "bold" font on your statement that according to rs429358 you are ApoE 3/3. That Snp, if it came back as "T', would indicate that you have one ApoE 3 (assuming it wa...

Confusion about genetic ApoE status (direct genotyping vs. predictive SNP)

I did a consumer genetic test and worry about my ApoE status because I see a conflict between my ApoE alleles based on rs429358 and rs7412 with the predictive SNPs like rs4420638 and especially rs769449. The minor alleles of these SNPs are commonly co-inherited with an ApoE4 allele and I am heterozy...
