Association ofBDNFVal66Met With Tau Hyperphosphorylation and Cognition in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Disease
31 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Allelic variation in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism moderates increases in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of tau and phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau181), measured using immunoassay, and cognitive decline in presymptomatic dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease (DIAD). Advances in mass spectrometry show that CSF tau phosphorylation occupancy at threonine 181 and 217...
