Reading Labs: Understanding the ApoE Gene: Your Risk for Dementia

In this episode of the "Reading Lab" segment, Nurse Doza discusses the importance of the ApoE gene and its role in determining the risk of dementia. The ApoE gene is responsible for metabolizing cholesterol, specifically LDL or "bad" cholesterol. By checking this gene, individuals can gain insight into their risk for developing dementia, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Nurse Doza emphasizes the importance of getting this gene checked at least once in life for better protection and prevention.
