Clinical performance of an antibody-free assay for plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 to detect early alterations of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with subjective cognitive decline

Maria Pascual-Lucas et al.

Summary: This study investigates the ability of plasma A beta 42/A beta 40 ratio measured by an antibody-free mass-spectrometric method to detect early pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results show that plasma A beta 42/A beta 40 is significantly correlated with A beta-PET levels and can accurately identify individuals in the earliest stages of AD. Additionally, lower plasma A beta 42/A beta 40 ratio is associated with worse episodic memory performance and increased brain atrophy, and can predict clinical conversion to mild cognitive impairment and longitudinal changes in amyloid deposition and brain atrophy at 2-year follow-up.

Plasma p-tau231, p-tau181, PET Biomarkers, and Cognitive Change in Older Adults

Pierre-Francois Meyer et al.

Summary: This study evaluated novel plasma p-tau231 and p-tau181, as well as A beta(40) and A beta(42) assays as indicators of tau and A beta pathologies measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and their association with cognitive change in cognitively unimpaired older adults. The findings showed that plasma p-tau231 had stronger associations with PET biomarkers compared to p-tau181 in presymptomatic individuals. The combination of p-tau and A beta(42/40) biomarkers detected early AD pathology and cognitive decline.

Amyloid Positive Hydrocephalus: A Hydrocephalic Variant of Alzheimer's Disease?

Hyemin Jang et al.

Summary: This study aims to describe an overlapping syndrome of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) that presents with gait disturbance, ventriculomegaly on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and significant amyloid deposition on positron emission tomography (PET). Hydrocephalic AD has different neuropsychological and imaging characteristics from typical AD.

Validation of Plasma Amyloid-β 42/40 for Detecting Alzheimer Disease Amyloid Plaques

Yan Li et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that plasma A beta 42/A beta 40 assay is an accurate diagnostic tool for classifying amyloid PET status. The assay performs similarly in both cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals, and its accuracy improves with APOE epsilon 4 carrier status.

The accuracy and robustness of plasma biomarker models for amyloid PET positivity

Andrea L. Benedet et al.

Summary: Plasma A beta 42/40, quantified by IP-MS, demonstrates high performance in detecting A beta positivity at all stages of AD continuum, with GFAP and p-tau181 contributing further in cognitive impaired stage. However, variations between assays greatly affect the performance of A beta 42/40 but not of GFAP and p-tau181. Plasma GFAP and p-tau181 should be considered for more robust determination of A beta burden in cognitively unimpaired and cognitively impaired participants when dealing with between-assay CVs exceeding 5%.

Longitudinal pathways of cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography biomarkers of amyloid-β positivity

Arianna Sala et al.

Summary: Mismatch between CSF and PET amyloid-beta biomarkers is common in preclinical/prodromal Alzheimer's disease individuals, with discordant biomarkers indicating elevated risk of progression towards fully abnormal amyloid-beta biomarkers. Biomarker discordance may lead to different genetic profiles and rates of amyloid-beta accumulation, suggesting distinct pathways towards established amyloid-beta pathology. This highlights the potential implications for the use of CSF and PET amyloid-beta biomarkers in clinical trials.

Performance of the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, measured with a novel HPLC-MS/MS method, as a biomarker of amyloid PET status in a DPUK-KOREAN cohort

Hyemin Jang et al.

Summary: In this study, plasma A beta 42/A beta 40 levels were assessed as a potential biomarker for predicting PET positivity in various cognitive impairment groups. The novel LC-MS method showed promising discriminating performance with an improved area under the ROC curve when age, APOE4, and diagnosis information were included.
