Order ApoE Genotype (Apolipoprotein E Genetic) Test from JustLabs for $113 ($131 all-in for a single-test order: $113 + one $18 lab & physician order fee per order). Price includes lab processing at Quest Diagnostics. No insurance required.
The ApoE genotype test identifies which variants of the ApoE gene you carry, providing insight into your genetic risk for heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a protein crucial for cholesterol transport and brain health. There are three common variants: E2, E3, and E4. Everyone inherits two copies (one from each parent), creating genotypes like E3/E3 (most common), E3/E4, or E4/E4.
The E4 variant is associated with higher LDL cholesterol, increased cardiovascular risk, and significantly elevated Alzheimer's risk. The E2 variant may offer some protection against heart disease but is associated with a rare lipid disorder. This one-time genetic test provides lifelong information about your genetic predisposition.

What's Measured
What This Test Measures
This genetic test identifies your ApoE genotype - which two ApoE alleles (E2, E3, or E4) you carry. Results are permanent and never change. About 25% of people carry at least one E4 allele.
Who Should Consider This Test
Anyone wanting to understand their genetic risk for cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer's. Particularly valuable for those with family history of early heart disease or dementia, people with high LDL despite lifestyle changes, or those who want personalized prevention strategies.

When to Get Tested
No fasting required. This is a one-time test - your genotype never changes. Consider testing if you want genetic insight into your cardiovascular and cognitive health risks.

Understanding Your Results
E3/E3 (most common): average risk. E3/E4 or E4/E4: increased cardiovascular and Alzheimer's risk - more aggressive prevention recommended. E2/E3: may have lower cardiovascular risk. E2/E2: rare, associated with Type III hyperlipoproteinemia. Having E4 doesn't mean you'll develop disease, and not having it doesn't guarantee you won't.
What to Expect
After placing your order, we send it straight to Quest Diagnostics — there is no consent form to sign and no partner email to wait for. Your requisition is usually ready to download from your dashboard within about an hour, and you can book your blood draw at any Quest Diagnostics location.
