Cross-Sectional FDG in Down Syndrome and Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Directly compare the brain glucose patterns seen with [F-18] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) between 2 genetically determined forms of Alzheimer's disease: Down syndrome (DS) and autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD).

Methods

Cross-sectional analyses of FDG were performed in individuals with DS (n = 76) from the Alzheimer Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome (ABC-DS), ADAD (n = 297), and neurotypical familial controls (n = 188) from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN). Within-group linear regression models and generalized additive models were performed for select regional FDG uptake measures (isthmus cingulate and inferior parietal, precuneus, middle temporal gyrus, and precentral gyrus).
