Before Symptoms Appear

Testing positive means higher than average risk. A higher risk means the disease may start earlier but does not tell who will get the disease.

The test is positive in about 1 in 5 people. Research shows that middle aged individuals (40-65 years old) who are at increased genetic risk for Alzheimer's could reduce their overall risk by quitting smoking, exercising more, maintaining healthy weight and normal blood pressure. For a detailed treatment and prevention guidance you should discuss your test results with your doctor.

Dear Sirs, I have provided a sample to "The HumanGenome Project" and gotten the genetic info to look into my genetic family history. Would that test have rendered genetic info that would answer the question, "Am I at high risk for Alzheimers"? That data could be made available. My maternal grandfather suffered and eventually died from it. Please, your answer would be greatly appreciated....Johnny Morgan

Although whole human genome test will offer more information in terms of other diseases, but for Alzheimer's disease per se, whole genome test does not provide necessarily more clues than ApoE test alone does, like presenilin mutations, which cause early onset forms of familial Alzheimer's Diseases, are very rare.
