Alzheimer's Prevention Registry GeneMatch Program
The purpose of the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry GeneMatch program is to identify a large
group of people interested in participating in research studies or clinical trials based in
part on their genetic background. This genetic information will be used to match interested
individuals to studies, providing a recruitment resource to the Alzheimer's scientific
community. Interested individuals should visit www.endALZnow.org/GeneMatch to join the
GeneMatch program.

community. Interested individuals should visit www.endALZnow.org/GeneMatch to join the
GeneMatch program.
The primary objectives of the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry GeneMatch program are to (1)
identify and characterize a large cohort of people who are interested in, and may be eligible
to participate in, current and future preclinical Alzheimer's disease research studies and
clinical trials based on their genetic background, and (2) provide information to these
individuals about research studies for which they may be eligible, based in part on their
genetic background. Cognitively unimpaired individuals age 55 to 75, inclusive, are eligible
to enroll in GeneMatch. GeneMatch will provide participants with a genetic sample kit (a
cheek swab) to test for a specific gene called apolipoproteins E (APOE). GeneMatch does not
disclose the results of the APOE test to participants. GeneMatch may use the APOE test
results to match participants to research studies. Participants are under no obligation to
pursue these study opportunities.
