SNPit #03 | How Much Does The ApoE Gene REALLY Affect Alzheimer’s?

Is the ApoE gene solely a predictor of cognitive decline, or is it just one piece of a larger, more intricate puzzle?

In today's episode, we focus on the ApoE gene, a genetic player that’s most notoriously linked to Alzheimer's Disease.

Julia dives deep into the three major variants called E2, E3, and E4, discussing how they change the shape of the ApoE protein and impact how well it functions.

she  also opens up the curtain on other health issues that can be caused by the ApoE gene —impacting your cardiovascular health, your body's inflammatory responses, and even your longevity.

Join us as we explore the layers of ApoE, debunk misconceptions, and discuss how understanding this gene could be a key step in taking control of your cognitive and overall health. Whether you're a genetic novice or a seasoned veteran in the world of SNPs, this episode will provide a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand look into the multi-faceted role of the ApoE gene.
