Has anyone had some genetic testing, such as APOE4 alleles?

I'm thinking 2 cousins on my father's side of family have been diagnosed with dementia, and I'm wondering if I should be tested, although I'd hate to have on my "insurance record"

I had the testing. Afterward the doctor laughed and said he hoped I didn't mind having symptoms on my chart that I didn't have. You can self order secretely https://www.jasonhealth.com/cart Your medical history should be shielded from your employer by HIPPA I think private testing comes to about $50.
I hope you have luck on the allele lottery.
