About Alzheimer's Risk Assessment Test in Berkeley
What the Alzheimer's Risk Assessment Screen measures
The screen typically includes apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotyping, which identifies the ε2, ε3, and ε4 alleles. The ε4 allele is associated with an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while the ε2 allele is generally considered protective relative to ε3.
Additional markers may include beta-amyloid 42/40 ratio, total tau, and phosphorylated tau in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, depending on the panel. These proteins reflect amyloid plaque burden and neurofibrillary tangle pathology, the two hallmark lesions of Alzheimer's disease.
Some panels also report inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein or homocysteine, along with lipid and metabolic indices. These are not specific to Alzheimer's disease but can contribute context when a clinician assesses overall risk.
