Clarifying the association of CSF Aβ, tau, BACE1, and neurogranin with AT(N) stages in Alzheimer disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current AT(N) stratification for Alzheimer's disease (AD) accounts for complex combinations of amyloid (A), tau proteinopathy (T) and neurodegeneration (N) signatures. Understanding the transition between these different stages is a major challenge, especially in view of the recent development of disease modifying therapy.

Methods

This is an observational study, CSF levels of Tau, pTau181, pTau217, Aβ38/40/42, sAPPα/β, BACE1 and neurogranin were measured in the BALTAZAR cohort of cognitively impaired patients and in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Biomarkers levels were related to the AT(N) framework. (A) and (T) were defined in BALTAZAR with CSF Aβ42/40 ratio and pTau217 respectively, and in ADNI with amyloid and tau PET. (N) was defined u
