APOE Genotype Check

The APOE gene provides instructions for making a protein called apolipoprotein E (APOE), which plays a role in metabolising fats in the body. There are three common forms of the APOE gene, known as e2, e3, and e4. The e3/e3 genotype is the most common genotype, and is considered the "normal" form of the APOE gene.
