If I text positive for the high risk APOE e4 genotype, does that mean I will get late-onset Alzheimer’s?
No, not everyone who carries the APOE e4 genotype will eventually develop late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals who have the APOE e4 allele have a 3- to 15-fold increased lifetime risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
