E88.01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM E88.01 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E88.01 - other international versions of ICD-10 E88.01 may differ.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E78.89 - other international versions of ICD-10 E78.89 may differ. All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter 2.
Apolipoprotein (Apo) E genotype testing was developed to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease. Risk assessment for developing a disease or condition in the absence of signs and symptoms of an illness or injury is not defined as a Medicare benefit.
The APOE gene provides instructions for making a protein called apolipoprotein E. This protein combines with fats (lipids) in the body to form molecules called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are responsible for packaging cholesterol and other fats and carrying them through the bloodstream.
APOE has three common forms: APOE e2 — the least common — reduces the risk of Alzheimer's. APOE e4 — a little more common — increases the risk of Alzheimer's and is associated with getting the disease at an earlier age. Approximately 15% to 25% of the general population carries an APOE e4 allele.
Abstract. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype is a genetic risk factor for dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). It includes three alleles (e2, e3, e4) that are located on chromosome 19q3. 2.
APOE is associated with varying risk of developing Alzheimer's, and there are three possible types. APOE3, found in about 70% of the population, is the most common variant and is considered neutral. APOE2 is the rarest form, found in 5-10% of people, and is associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's.
APOE ε4 as a strong risk factor for AD Genome-wide association studies have confirmed that the ε4 allele of APOE is the strongest genetic risk factor for AD. The presence of this allele is associated with increased risk for both early-onset AD and LOAD.
ApoE receptors are essential for the development of the nervous system, the regulation of synaptic plasticity, neuroprotection, and the innervation of the muscle. They also regulate the metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein on multiple levels, implicating them in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The APOE genotype test evaluates a person's DNA to determine what APOE forms (alleles) are present. APOE e3/e3 is the most common genotype (seen in well over half of the population) and is considered “neutral.” Risks of disease are made relative to the e3/e3 population.
APOE4 is the strongest risk factor gene for Alzheimer's disease, although inheriting APOE4 does not mean a person will definitely develop the disease. The study suggests that dementia may be caused by lipid imbalances in brain cells.
APOE genotyping is sometimes used as an added test to help in the diagnosis of probable late onset Alzheimer disease (AD) in symptomatic adults.
Conclusion: APOE ε4 allele increased the depression risk; depressive patients carrying APOE ε4 allele had more severe depressive symptoms.
Conclusion. Carrying APOE4 is the major genetic risk factor for developing LOAD, although not everyone carrying APOE4 develops the disease. APOE not only impacts lipid metabolism but various CNS functions in an isoform-dependent manner.
Individuals are tested using saliva samples. The 23andMe test evaluates whether an individual has the APOE-e4 Alzheimer's risk gene, but not deterministic genes for Alzheimer's. any copies of APOE-e4.
APOE and Alzheimer disease: a major gene with semi-dominant inheritance.
A new study from MIT shows that this gene has widespread effects on brain cells' ability to metabolize lipids and respond to stress. In studies of human brain cells and yeast cells, the researchers found that the APOE4 gene significantly disrupts brain cells' ability to carry out their normal functions.
The three single-gene mutations associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease are: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) on chromosome 21. Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) on chromosome 14. Presenilin 2 (PSEN2) on chromosome 1.
We all inherit a copy of some form of APOE from each parent. Those who inherit one copy of APOE-e4 from their mother or father have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's. Those who inherit two copies from their mother and father have an even higher risk, but not a certainty.
As the major component of HDL-like particles in the brain, ApoE facilitates the transfer of cholesterol and phospholipid between cells. ApoE serves as a ligand in the receptor-mediated endocytosis of HDL-like particles through LDL receptor family. There are three major isoforms (ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4) in humans.
Hypobetalipoproteinemia, familial. Lipoprotein deficiency disorder. Clinical Information. A disorder of lipoprotein metabolism caused by mutations in the lcat gene. It is characterized by deficiency of the enzyme lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase.
A metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of high density (alpha) lipoprotein in the blood. A rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder of cholesterol transport, resulting in severe reduction of the amount of high density lipoprotein in the plasma and accumulation of cholesterol esters in the tissues.
Clinical Information. A genetic disorder of lipoprotein metabolism caused by mutations in the lpl and apolipoprotein (apo) c-ii genes. It is characterized by increased levels of chylomicrons and triglycerides in the blood. An inherited condition due to a deficiency of either lipoprotein lipase or apolipoprotein c-ii (a lipase-activating protein).
An inherited condition due to a deficiency of either lipoprotein lipase or apolipoprotein c-ii (a lipase-activating protein). The lack of lipase activities results in inability to remove chylomicrons and triglycerides from the blood which has a creamy top layer after standing.
Rare familial condition characterized by massive chylomicronemia and decreased levels of other lipoproteins; due to deficiency of lipoprotein lipase, an alkaline triglyceride hydrolase which catalyzes an important step in the extrahepatic removal of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the blood.
A genetic disorder characterized by decreased alpha-1 antitrypsin activity in the lungs and blood and deposition of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein in the hepatocytes. These abnormalities result from defective production of alpha-1 antitrypsin and lead to the development of emphysema, cirrhosis, and liver failure.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (aat) is a protein that protects the lungs. The liver usually makes the protein, and releases it into the bloodstream.

The MolDX Team has determined Apolipoprotein (Apo) E genotype testing, developed to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, has insufficient evidence to support the required clinical utility for the established Medicare benefit category.
