Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4), a well-established genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), is deeply involved in amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathology. Blood-based biomarkers (BBMs), including Aβ42/40, phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilament light (NfL), offer accessible proxies of AD pathology. Reactive astrocytes, indicated by elevated GFAP,...
