Medical Service Information

Purpose Test

  • Genetic Identification: Detecting mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are linked to early-onset hereditary forms of the disease.
  • Risk Assessment: Estimating the individual’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s based on family history and genetic results.
  • Treatment Guidance: Assisting doctors in developing personalized treatment plans based on individual risk.
  • Family Information: Providing families with insights into the potential hereditary transmission of the disease.

Recommended groups

  • Individuals with a family history of the disease: People with first-degree relatives diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
  • People with early symptoms: Such as memory loss or difficulty concentrating, especially at a young age.
  • Individuals seeking risk assessment: Those who want to understand their risk for personal or family planning purposes.
  • Participants in clinical studies: Researchers who need genetic evaluation as part of their studies.
  • Families planning to have children: To understand potential hereditary risks for their offspring.

Symptoms indicative

  • Memory loss: Difficulty remembering new information or recent events.
  • Cognitive disturbances: Problems with concentration or decision-making.
  • Behavioral changes: Such as depression, anxiety, or sudden mood swings.
  • Difficulty with daily tasks: Managing daily routines or performing complex tasks.
  • Language problems: Trouble finding the right words or expressing thoughts.

FAQs

  • What is the purpose of this test? The test aims to identify genetic mutations associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
  • How is the test performed? A blood or saliva sample is collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis of the relevant genes.
  • Does the test require any special preparation? Usually, no special preparation is needed, but it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions.
  • How long does it take to get the results? Results typically take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the laboratory.
  • Can the results be affected by other factors? The test focuses on genes, so environmental factors or lifestyle do not directly affect the results.
  • What are the risks of the test? Risks are minimal and mostly limited to sample collection; there are no direct risks related to the genetic analysis itself.

Normal Levels

  • Negative result: No known genetic mutations associated with Alzheimer’s are detected in the tested genes, suggesting a lower hereditary risk.
  • Positive result: Known genetic mutations are present that may increase the risk of developing the disease, requiring further discussion and planning with a specialist physician.
