Labcorp
Our global life sciences company brings diagnostic testing & drug development together.
Labcorp is working hard to help over 6 million people in the US living with AD and over 80 million adults between 50-70 years whose second biggest health fear is AD. By combining the power of high precision technology with artificial intelligence, we are actively studying blood-based biomarkers, like pTau and NfL, and working with pharmaceutical partners to provide clear, objective answers to clinicians, patients, and families.
This test detects the presence of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE)-4 variant, which is associated with an increased risk of late-onset (age >60-65) Alzheimer's disease (AD). The APOE4 variant increases the risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease and may contribute to the pathology of the disease through influence on β-amyloid, inflammation, or other processes.
