Alzheimer’s Panel & Report
Overview
- Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impacts memory, cognition, and quality of life. Today, an estimated 6.9 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia, a number projected to rise to 13.8 million by 2060. While symptoms often emerge later in life, the underlying biological changes begin decades earlier.
- By analyzing a broad range of gene variants, this panel helps identify risk before symptoms arise empowering both providers and patients to take proactive steps.

What This Test Covers
The Alzheimer’s Panel is divided into key health categories, each addressing distinct pathways
that influence Alzheimer’s disease risk and cognitive health
that influence Alzheimer’s disease risk and cognitive health
Neurodegenerative Risk Genetics
Analyzes genetic susceptibility to hallmark mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease
- Clusterin-Associated Alzheimer’s Risk
- Overall Alzheimer’s Disease Susceptibility
- APOE Risk Scoring for Alzheimer Disease
Microbiome–Cognitive Health Profile
Explores the genetic connection between gastrointestinal health and cognitive function
- Gut-Brain Resilience
Alzheimer’s Metabolic Risk Indicators
Evaluates genetic interactions between metabolic function and Alzheimer’s progression
- Alzheimer’s Disease–Metabolic Interaction (AD-MI)
Homocysteine Regulation
Assesses the genetic ability to regulate homocysteine, a biomarker tied to oxidative stress and neurovascular damage
- Homocysteine Elevation
Neuro-Immune Health
Analyzes inflammatory response genes linked to brain degeneration
- Chronic Inflammation
Nutrient Metabolism Profiles
Evaluates metabolism of key neuroprotective nutrients
- Zinc
- Vitamin D
Why It Matters
Early detection of genetic risk can be a game-changer allowing for preventive strategies that delay or reduce disease progression. The Alzheimer’s Panel helps address this urgency by offering
- A proactive lens into long-term cognitive risk, years before clinical signs appear
- Precision insights across neuroinflammation, metabolism, and nutrient pathways
- Prevention-first protocols for integrative, functional, and conventional medical approaches
- Greater clarity for dementia clinics, neurologists, geriatric specialists, and cognitive health providers
Who Should Take This Test
This panel is ideal for
Adults with a family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia who may benefit from early, genomics-based risk assessment.
Patients presenting with early cognitive changes, memory concerns, or unexplained mental fog.
Functional and integrative medicine providers aiming to address neurodegeneration through root-cause, personalized care.
Neurologists and memory clinics looking to incorporate genetic insights into diagnostic and management protocols.
Clinicians supporting individuals experiencing mood fluctuations, emotional shifts, or cognitive fatigue.
Providers developing precision-guided brain health strategies tailored to genetic predispositions.
