Neurofibrillary tangle-predominant dementia: comparison with classical Alzheimer disease
TLDR
Neurofibrillary tangle predominant dementia (NFTPD) is a subset of late onset dementia, clinically different from traditional “plaque and tangle” Alzheimer disease (AD): later onset, shorter duration, less severe cognitive impairment, and almost absence of ApoE ε4.Abstract:
Neurofibrillary tangle predominant dementia (NFTPD) is a subset of late onset dementia, clinically different from traditional "plaque and tangle" Alzheimer disease (AD): later onset, shorter duration, less severe cognitive impairment, and almost absence of ApoE epsilon4. Neuropathology reveals abundant allocortical neurofibrillary pathology with no or few isocortical tau lesions, absence of neuritic plaques, absence or scarcity of amyloid deposits, but neurofibrillary changes comprising both 3 and 4 repeat (3R and 4R) tau immunohistochemistry are not significantly different from those in classical AD. Comparing 51 autopsy cases of NFTPD with 244 classical AD subjects, the nosology of NFTPD and its differences from AD are discussed.read more

TL;DR: Evidence from many independent research centers strongly supports the existence of a specific disease, as defined by the presence of A&bgr; plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

TL;DR: A new term is recommended, “primary age-related tauopathy” (PART), to describe a pathology that is commonly observed in the brains of aged individuals, yet this pathological process cannot be specifically identified pre-mortem at the present time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification and basic pathology of Alzheimer disease.
TL;DR: Tau accumulation, probably the best histopathological correlate of the clinical symptoms, takes three aspects: in the cell body of the neuron as neurofibrillary tangle, in the dendrites as neuropil threads, and in the axons forming the senile plaque neuritic corona.

TL;DR: H hippocampal sparing and limbic-predominant AD subtypes might account for about 25% of cases, and hence should be considered when designing clinical, genetic, biomarker, and treatment studies in patients with AD, and support the hypothesis that AD has distinct clinicopathological subtypes.

The neuropathology of probable Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment.
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to investigate single and mixed common age‐related neuropathologies in persons with probable AD and MCI.

Staging of Alzheimer disease-associated neurofibrillary pathology using paraffin sections and immunocytochemistry.
TL;DR: To better meet the demands of routine laboratories this procedure is revised here by adapting tissue selection and processing to the needs of paraffin-embedded sections and by introducing a robust immunoreaction (AT8) for hyperphosphorylated tau protein that can be processed on an automated basis.

TL;DR: A protective effect of the ε2 allele, in addition to the dose effect ofThe ε4 allele in sporadic AD, is demonstrated, which further support the direct involvement of APOE in the pathogenesis of AD.
