Posterior Accumulation of Tau and Concordant Hypometabolism in an Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Patient with Presenilin-1 Mutation
15 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
It is unclear whether the distribution of tau pathology differs between cases with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sporadic AD. We present positron emission tomography (PET) data from a young patient with a presenilin-1 mutation (Thr116Asn). 18F-flutemetamol PET showed a distribution of amyloid-β fibrils similar to sporadic AD. However, the pattern of tau pathology, revealed using 18F-AV1451...
