But I mean CC AND CC so if you are CC at rs7412 and a CC at rs429358 isn't that a 4/4?
So CC alone with rs7412 is one copy of an e4 correct?

What am I not getting?
The member had EXACTLY one E4. She already knew that she was NOT a 4/4. This implies that she is CT at rs429358. With that fact as a given, the other options, 2/4 and 3/4, can be distinguished by looking only at rs7412. I used the chart at the SNPedia APOE page to figure that out for her.
AH Thanks. Sorry. I might have Alzheimer's! lol. at least not yet anyway. hehe.

So just looking at the pattern, if you are 4/4, your Hazard score goes to 99-100% with a 50% chance of having AD by 80 years old, where as 3/4's Hazard scores vary between 81 and 93 with 50% not until 86 years old. Does that mean that 3/4s have a better chance of changing their likelihood of getting AD than 4/4s based on lifestyle changes?

I happened to see this encouraging news today about some things coming down the pipeline. But I also noticed that it said that everyone has a 50% chance of developing Alzheimer’s by age 85. I’m not sure it makes any difference in my thoughts about my chances, but it seemed I was a bit less unusual. I know that I could develop symptoms well before age 85 or 90. A 15% chance or whatever is still a chance. But it was an interesting short article.

As a 4/4, it seems as though the test would be a waste of money.

3/4s certainly have a better chance of not developing AD, but this test doesn't address epigenetic influences for either group.

I was wondering since 3/4s have a broad Hazard range, while 4/4s do not, if that implied more variability among 3/4s and maybe more effect from changes.

Dear APOE4.info community users,

Thank you for your support of Dashgenomics.

Due to various reasons, we have decided to shut down Dash Genomics. We’re glad to have been part of the effort to understand more about Alzheimer’s Disease, and are proud that we could bring cutting edge genomics research to the broader community.

The Dash Genomics platform will be available until October 15th, 2020. You may still purchase a report until this date. After October 15th, all data will be deleted and you will no longer be able to access your account or data. If you’d like to archive your results, please log in and print or download your report.

Thank you again for your support.

Best,
The Dash Genomics Team

Dash Genomics closed operations last year and is no longer in business. We are in no way affiliated with the website dashgenomics . com anymore.

Please exercise caution when interacting with this site which appears to be impersonating our prior operations.
