Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have an elevated risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Especially the amnestic MCI is seen as prodrome of AD. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele, abnormal CSF Abeta42, Tau and phosphorylated Tau (phospho-Tau) levels are associated with elevated risk for AD. METHODS: APOE genotyping was done by PCR based method and baseline CSF Abeta42, Tau and...
