Cerebrospinal Fluid β-Amyloid 42 and Tau Proteins as Biomarkers of Alzheimer-Type Pathologic Changes in the Brain

TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid Abeta42 and tau proteins are biomarkers of AD-associated pathologic changes in the brain and the combination of abnormally low CSF Abeta 42 level and abnormally high CSF tau level predicted the presence of AD pathologic features with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presymptomatic hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer's disease. A longitudinal MRI study.

TL;DR: Volumetric measurement of the HF showed that asymmetrical atrophy developed in asymptomatic individuals at risk of autosomal dominant familial Alzheimer's disease before the appearance of symptoms, which may have implications for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampus and entorhinal cortex in mild cognitive impairment and early AD

TL;DR: The results suggest that the ERC atrophy precedes hippocampal atrophy in AD, and the E RC volume loss is dominant over the hippocampal volume loss in MCI, whereas more pronounced hippocampalVolume loss appears in mild AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at 7p21 are associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions

TL;DR: It is found that FTLD-TDP associates with multiple SNPs mapping to a single linkage disequilibrium block on 7p21 that contains TMEM 106B, which implicate variants in TMEM106B as a strong risk factor for FTLD, suggesting an underlying pathogenic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Volumes of hippocampus, amygdala and frontal lobes in the MRI-based diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease: correlation with memory functions.

TL;DR: In AD patients the volumes of the left hippocampus correlated significantly with the MMSE score and with immediate and delayed verbal memory; the smaller the volume the more impaired was their performance.
