TLDR
Analysis of agreement and disagreement between 2 biomarkers of β‐amyloid (Aβ) deposition in normal aging and dementia in a large multicenter study finds no agreement or disagreement between these biomarkers.
Abstract
Objective We examined agreement and disagreement between two biomarkers of Aβ deposition (amyloid PET and CSF Aβ1-42) in normal aging and dementia in a large multicenter study.

Preclinical Alzheimer's disease: Definition, natural history, and diagnostic criteria.

TL;DR: An updated review of the literature and evidence on the definitions and lexicon, the limits, the natural history, the markers of progression, and the ethical consequence of detecting the disease at this asymptomatic stage of Alzheimer's disease are provided.

Prevalence of cerebral amyloid pathology in persons without dementia: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Among persons without dementia, the prevalence of cerebral amyloid pathology as determined by positron emission tomography or cerebrospinal fluid findings was associated with age, apolipoprotein E [APOE] genotype, sex, and education, and presence of cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Amyloid biomarkers will be of special value in the clinic to identify patients with brain amyloid deposition at risk for progression to AD dementia, to enable initiation of treatment before neurodegeneration is too severe, and to monitor drug effects on Aβ metabolism or pathology to guide dosage.

Inverse relation between in vivo amyloid imaging load and cerebrospinal fluid Abeta42 in humans.

TL;DR: Amyloid‐β42 (Aβ42) appears central to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and is a major component of amyloid plaques, and its decrease may reflect plaques acting as an Aβ42 “sink,” hindering transport of soluble A β42 between brain and CSF.

Cerebrospinal Fluid tau/β-Amyloid42 Ratio as a Prediction of Cognitive Decline in Nondemented Older Adults

TL;DR: The very mildest symptomatic stage of AD exhibits the same CSF biomarker phenotype as more advanced AD, and CSF tau/Abeta(42) ratios show strong promise as antecedent (preclinical) biomarkers that predict future dementia in cognitively normal older adults.

APOE predicts amyloid-beta but not tau Alzheimer pathology in cognitively normal aging

TL;DR: To examine interactions of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype with age and with in vivo measures of preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD) in cognitively normal aging, APOE genotype is linked with age-related changes in Alzheimer's disease.

Reduction of beta-amyloid peptide42 in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is interesting that CSF Aβ42 levels were found to be significantly lower in AD patients relative to controls, whereas total Aβ levels were not, and neither A β42 nor τ levels were apparently influenced by the ApoE genotype.
