Genetic Variations of Note
Research indicates that specific genetic variations are associated with a higher likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease, hemochromatosis, or celiac disease. These conditions are prevalent among individuals with certain genetic makeups, highlighting the importance of understanding genetic predispositions in disease susceptibility.
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a lipid binding protein that transports triglycerides and cholesterol in multiple tissues, including the brain. There is research to suggest that the APOE-e4 allele has the strongest risk factor gene for Alzheimer’s disease since over 60% of persons with Alzheimer’s disease harbor at least one e4 allele. The e4/e4 genotype is cited as being a higher risk than e3/e4. However, inheriting a single or double ApoE4 genotype does not mean a person will develop the disease as there are many other epigenetic factors at play.

There is research to suggest that mutations in the HFE C282Y may lead to an iron overload due to increased iron absorption and disrupted metabolism. Individuals who carry two copies of the HFE C282Y gene mutation, known as homozygotes, represent the majority (85 to 90 percent) of individuals with hemochromatosis. Whilst those with only one mutation in the HFE C282Y gene are associated with a lower risk of iron overload you may want to consider talking to your doctor about further testing if hemochromatosis runs in your family and have either of these mutations.
Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat,barley and rye. Published research shows that approximately 30 percent of the general population have variants in the celiac disease risk genes HLA-DQA1 through HLA-DQB, yet only 3% of these individuals develop celiac disease.
