    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 individuals in their middle age (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.

  • STROKE RISK TEST

    This test provides information about your genetic risk for ischemic stroke

    The test will determine your genetic predisposition to strokes based on genetic markers of inflammation in lymphotoxin A gene (LTA). A positive test means that a person has increased genetic predisposition to strokes. Knowing your genetic risk will enable you to take specific actions to decrease your overall risk for strokes.
