Our Parkinson-Alzheimer-Dementia Testing
An accurate, timely diagnosis of a nonreversible decline in mental function is crucial to ensure a personalized and data-driven treatment plan is provided to the patient. Early-stage support can help avoid unnecessary struggles and expenses associated with missed treatment opportunities.

Parkinson-Alzheimer-Dementia NGS Test Panel
Turnkey Diagnostic offers the Parkinson-Alzheimer-Dementia (PAD) NGS panel, which examines 35 genes associated with an increased risk of developing neurocognitive disorders and detects both the diagnostic and risk factor genes for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dementia.
While no single test exists to diagnose dementia, PAD testing is an important component in the diagnostic process. Additionally, PAD testing rules out medical conditions that mimic the memory loss symptoms associated with dementia.

Statistically Speaking
- The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, accounting for an estimated 60-80% of cases
- Vascular dementia, caused by high blood pressure, is the second most common form of dementia.
- Early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease affects 3-5% of the Alzheimer’s patient population.
- 15% of patients with Parkinson’s have a family history of the disease.
- The most common form of dementia for people under age 60 is also the most frequently misdiagnosed.

Frontotemporal Dementia
One type of early-onset Alzheimer's disease is known as autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease, or early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), which affects approximately 3-5% of all people with Alzheimer's. What makes this type of early-onset Alzheimer's disease so unusual is that it is caused by a hereditary genetic mutation to one of three genes: PSEN1, PSEN2, or APP. Genes that increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease are APOE, TREM2, and NOTCH3.
