My panel does not include that test, bummer.
I'm wondering is there a suggested diet/supplement regimen for people with a single apoe4 gene, i.e. 15-20% of the population with European ancestry? Doing the full Alzheimer's protection regime might be overkill for this part of the population. People with two apoe4 genes or pre-dementia should probably do the full regime, but what about the rest of people at risk?
Yeah, it's only available on the v3 platform apparently..
I don't know what would constitute an "Alzheimer's regimen", apart from basic things like excercise and nutrition (curcumin, blueberries & green tea come to mind). Nevertheless, I think Alzheimer's should be high on anyones priority list (and certainly still is on mine), given the relatively high prevalence and the fact is will probably be hard to treat/reverse. 23andme tells me I have a reduced risk for AD (0.67x) and an increased risk for exfoliation glaucoma (2.9x), but still my absolute risk for AD is 4.9% and only 2.2% for EG; don't be fooled by relative values. Also, I personally consider any neurodegenerative disorder to be more serious than other diseases, because it appears to me that - by the time I'm old enough to be affected by age related disease - we'll be able to cure most of them by replacement of bodyparts; either by sophisticated hardware or biotech. Replacing (parts of) the brain while maintaining the same sense of self seems further off though..
