GeneMatch is a national program led by the Banner Alzheimer's Institute that:
The Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry created the GeneMatch program to help match people who are 50- 90 years old to research studies based on their genetic information.
GeneMatch will provide you with a cheek swab kit to determine which copies of a gene (known as the APOE type allele) you have. You will not be told your APOE genotype as part of the GeneMatch Program.
GeneMatch may contact you about study opportunities or other based on your APOE genotype. Your interest and response to these study opportunities may be recorded and tracked by the GeneMatch team. You may be invited to complete online education modules and surveys.
Participants will be asked questions regarding the learning material and answers will be recorded and tracked by the GeneMatch team.
