OBJECTIVE: To identify a novel biochemical marker that precedes clinical symptoms in Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS: Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction techniques, we measured circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from study participants, selected from a cohort of 282 subjects, who were classified according to their concentrations of amyloid β1-42, total tau, and...
