APOE Gene Test in Australia and New Zealand – Understand Your Cholesterol and Brain Health

We look at over 900,000 SNP’s and use the latest AI powered software to analyse over 80 million variants that significantly influence your health.

An APOE gene test provides insights into how your body manages cholesterol and its potential impact on cognitive health. At Life X DNA, we include APOE gene analysis in all of our at-home DNA testing kits – available across Australia and New Zealand.

Using next-generation sequencing, Life X DNA analyses over 20 million SNPs and genetic markers, covering both core lipid metabolism genes and broader health-related regions. This includes the well-researched APOE alleles (e2, e3, e4) linked to cholesterol levels and cognitive performance.

What Is the APOE Gene and Why Does It Matter?

The APOE gene (Apolipoprotein E) produces a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, helping to transport cholesterol and other fats through the bloodstream.

Variations in this gene – specifically the e2, e3, and e4 alleles – can influence:

  • Cholesterol and triglyceride levels
  • Risk of cardiovascular diseases
  • Cognitive function and risk of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Understanding your APOE genotype can provide valuable information about your lipid profile and potential health risks.

Why the APOE Gene Test Is Included in Our DNA Analysis Panels

At Life X DNA, APOE gene testing is integrated into our comprehensive reporting system. Rather than offering it as a standalone report, we include it as part of our:

  • Advanced Lipid Metabolism Report
  • Cognitive Function and Brain Health Report
  • Personalised recommendations that consider your full genetic profile

If you’re searching for APOE gene test kits in Australia and NZ, Life X DNA offers a reliable, privacy-first solution.

Who Uses APOE Testing and Why?

Genetic testing that includes APOE may be relevant if you:

  • Are exploring cholesterol management and cardiovascular health through a personalised lens
  • Have a family history of heart disease or Alzheimer’s disease
  • Want to understand your response to dietary fats and lipid-lowering medications
  • Are building on previous lipid profile assessments

Our reports are educational and non-diagnostic – designed to empower more informed choices, not provide medical advice.

FAQs About APOE Gene Testing

It identifies which APOE alleles (e2, e3, e4) you carry, providing insights into your lipid metabolism and potential health risks.

They may provide useful context, especially when combined with other lipid profile assessments. However, results are for informational use only and should not replace medical advice.

Yes. Every Life X DNA panel includes APOE genotyping, either as part of our lipid metabolism report or the broader health function modules.

Yes – all of our kits are shipped across Australia and New Zealand, and results are accessible online.
