I created this panel created to assess risk factors associated with cognitive decline along with overall health and healthy aging. Specific tests measured in this panel are related to the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, such as the
 
APOE Alzheimer’s Risk test
HLA DR1/3/4/5 DQ
thyroid function,
cardiovascular biomarkers such as the NMR LipoProfile
hs-CRP
fibrinogen activity
Omega3/Omega 6 fatty acids
vitamin B12 and folate
homocysteine
CBC with differential
comprehensive metabolic panel
iron panel
vitamin D
magnesium
 
It is essential to note Alzheimer’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative disease that is caused by a combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental influences. For this reason, the panel includes the APOE allele, a strong genetic risk factor, and the HLA-DRB1/DQB1 genetic test. HLA-DRB1/DQB1 gene variants appear to participate in the neuronal degeneration of AD-associated brain regions. Also, HLA antigens may correlate with particular disease states or other clinical conditions. 
 
Hormones are regulators of the human body and serve critical functions to maintain various processes, such as growth, emotions, and even cognition. As a result, this panel also includes an assessment of estradiol and testosterone.
