Heritability of Alzheimer's disease plasma biomarkers: A nuclear twin family design
26 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly heritable disease (60%-80%). Amyloid beta (Aβ) 42/40, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) are plasma biomarkers for AD. Clinical biomarker research would be served by an understanding of the sources of variance in these markers. METHODS: Blood concentrations of Aβ42/40, NfL, and GFAP of twins and their families (monozygotic...
