This statistic shows the percentage of the U.S. population with e2,e3 and e4 forms of the Apolipoprotein E(APOE) gene. The e2/e2 combination of the Apolipoprotein E gene is present in 0.5 % of the population in Unites States as of 2016. People with one or two copies of e4 are at higher risk developing Alzheimer's.

* With the e2, e3 and e4 Forms of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) Gene. One form of the APOE gene is inherited from each parent. People with
one or two copies of e4 are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s than
