Quest AD-Detect® Apolipoprotein (ApoE) Isoform

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), the primary brain apolipoprotein, is a biomarker for AD that can be found in the blood or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). The presence of an E4 allele is associated with both increased disease risk and decreased average age of onset compared with E2 or E3 alleles.

Can be ordered alongside other tests in the AD-Detect™ portfolio, such as QUEST AD-Detect Amyloid Beta 42/40, for a more robust risk assessment.

Powering better outcomes for your patients with memory loss

Quest and uMETHOD are redefining what’s possible for dementia and Alzheimer's patients.

At Quest, we know that some memory loss occurs as we get older, but dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are not a normal part of aging. While dementia is the #1 health concern of many retired people,3 only 1 in 7 of those 65 years or older are screened for memory loss.4

Quest is committed to bringing 2 powerful solutions together–uMETHOD's groundbreaking AI-based technology and our advanced lab testing–to help you analyze your patient’s risk factors and create a personalized care plan that can make a real difference.

  • Pharmacological and supplementation-based treatment for conditions such as insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and nutritional deficiencies, etc
  • Improved lifestyle habits including exercise, sleep, stress reduction, and diet
  • Medication management to quickly reduce brain fog and resolve interactions

Enhancing diagnostic specificity with the help of Phospho-Tau biomarkers

Alzheimer's can be difficult to diagnose. ADmark® Phospho-Tau/Total Tau/Aβ42 Analysis and Interpretation includes a set of 3 biomarkers that differentiates Alzheimer's disease (AD) from other forms of dementia.5

This panel combines results for Aβ42/40 ratio and ApoE into an algorithm to assess the cause of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the risk of AD.
