Cool. 23andMe tests for APOE-ε4 (APOE4) and I don't have that one. Do doctors test for the others?

Do you mean APOE2 and APOE3? One copy of the APOE gene consists of two alleles one from your mom and one from your dad. There are any number of combinations. 2/3, 3/3, 3/4, 4/4, etc. 2 is preventive, 3 is neutral and 4 is an increased risk of Alzheimer's. You got tested with 23andMe and don't have APOE4 is that correct? Then your combination would be with the alleles 2 and 3 which are positive or neutral....2/3, 3/2, 3/3, etc.
