Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study CSF biomarkers amyloid-beta 1-42 (Aβ42) and total tau (tau) in relation to APOE genotype in their ability to predict progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: In 100 MCI patients CSF Aβ42, tau and APOE genotype were determined. At follow-up of 18 (13-24) months 58 patients remained non-progressive and 42 progressed to AD. RESULTS: Cox proportional...
