4 SIMG Florence ppt Predictive Medicine “A device or service that can predict a change in the health status of an individual, either towards the onset of disease or towards the likely response to a therapeutic intervention.”

12 SIMG Florence ppt Susceptibility Gene Strategy Alzheimer Disease

13 SIMG Florence ppt Human Genetics Over the past two decades, disease genes have been identified for hundreds of rare, inherited diseases that are seen in families Susceptibility genes underlie common diseases (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, asthma) To date, only one susceptibility gene linked to a common, polygenic disease (APOE, Alzheimer) Over the past two decades, disease genes have been identified for hundreds of rare, inherited diseases that are seen in families Susceptibility genes underlie common diseases (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, asthma) To date, only one susceptibility gene linked to a common, polygenic disease (APOE, Alzheimer)

23 SIMG Florence ppt APOE as a Predictive Medicine Tool in Alzheimer Disease Value in assigning more accurate diagnoses, not simply whether a patient is APOE4 “positive” or APOE4 “negative” If a patient is cognitively impaired, and fits the current clinical diagnosis of possible AD, the diagnostic accuracy goes from % to >95% if the patient carries an APOE4 allele Value in assigning more accurate diagnoses, not simply whether a patient is APOE4 “positive” or APOE4 “negative” If a patient is cognitively impaired, and fits the current clinical diagnosis of possible AD, the diagnostic accuracy goes from % to >95% if the patient carries an APOE4 allele
