Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measures of beta-amyloid(1-42 )and tau differ between patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and elderly normal controls. The effect of time and APOE genotype on these biomarkers continues to be elucidated. METHODS: We assessed CSF beta-amyloid(1-42) and tau in 20 mild-to-moderate AD patients, 11 APOE epsilon4+ and 9 APOE epsilon4-, over a mean time of 3.8 years (range 1-11.1...
