What this test is

This assessment typically analyzes specific genetic markers and biomarkers in your blood that are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. It provides information that may be considered alongside other clinical factors.

What it measures

  • Apolipoprotein E (APOE) Genotype — reflects genetic factors associated with Alzheimer's risk
  • Amyloid Beta Peptide 42/40 Ratio — reflects the balance of proteins involved in brain plaque formation
  • Total Tau — reflects a protein associated with nerve cell damage
  • Phosphorylated Tau (p-tau) — reflects a specific form of tau protein linked to Alzheimer's pathology

What the test involves

A simple blood draw is required for this test. A trained phlebotomist will collect a small sample of your blood, usually from a vein in your arm.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians may order this test to help understand a patient's potential predisposition to Alzheimer's disease. This information can be a component in discussions about preventative health strategies.

Preparation

Please follow any specific preparation instructions provided by the laboratory where you will be having your sample collected. Some tests may require fasting.

How results are reported

Before you go

  • Confirm fasting requirements.
  • Verify acceptable identification.
