Background Information

The ApoE gene encodes apolipoprotein E (ApoE),which is a lipoprotein and clearance protein that exists in both serum and central nervous system. It

acts as a ligand for low-density lipoprotein receptors and participates in elimination of lowdensity lipoprotein and chylomicrons, maintains the balance of lipid metabolism in the body. The concentration of APOE in plasma determines the level of blood lipids in plasma to a certain extent. People with different APOE genotypes have a large difference in the role of apolipoproteins in the process of fat metabolism, and their responses to food, drugs, and alcohol are quite different. Through blood lipid metabolism testing, it is possible to determine the genetically hereditary risk of subjects with regard to dyslipidemia, cerebrovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
