Alzheimer's Genetic Testing

We offer Alzheimer's genetic testing as part of a broader approach to personalized, preventative health care. If you have a family history of Alzheimer's or are concerned about your cognitive health, genetic testing may help you understand your individual risk and plan proactively.

What is Alzheimer’s Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing for Alzheimer’s disease identifies specific genes that may be associated with a higher risk of developing the condition.

It is important to remember: having a genetic risk does not guarantee you will develop Alzheimer’s, and many people with no genetic markers may still develop it.

Who Should Consider Testing?

You may want to explore testing if:

You have a strong family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia
You are experiencing early memory or cognitive issues
You are under 65 and have a close relative diagnosed at a young age
You are planning for long-term health, care, and financial decisions
You are participating in a clinical trial or research study that requires testing

What to Expect

Pre-Testing Counseling

We begin with a conversation. One of our providers will review your medical and family history, explain what the test can and cannot tell you, and help you decide if it’s the right step for you.

Testing Process

The test is typically done through a blood/saliva sample.
