摘要

Objective

We investigated diagnostic utility of phosphorylated tau 217 and 181 (ptau217, ptau181), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid beta 42 and 40 (Aβ42, Aβ40), and neurofilament light (NfL) to distinguish biomarker-defined Alzheimer disease (AD) from non-AD conditions, in a heterogenous clinical cohort of younger people.

Methods

Plasma biomarkers were analysed using ultrasensitive technology, and compared in patients with CSF Alzheimer disease profiles (A+T+) to other CSF profiles (Other).

Results

Seventy-nine patients were included, median age 60.8 years: 16 A+T+, 63 Other. Ptau217, ptau181, GFAP were significantly elevated in A+T+ compared to Other (3.67 vs 1.12 pg/mL, 3.87 vs 1.79 pg/mL, 189 vs 80 pg/mL, respectively). ptau217 distinguished AD from Other with 90% accuracy (88% specificity, 100% sensitivity). ptau217 also demonstrated strong diagnostic performance for clinically diagnosed AD.

Conclusions

Plasma ptau217 has strong diagnostic performance in distinguishing CSF biomarker-defined AD in a clinically relevant, younger cohort of people with symptoms, adding further weight for a simple diagnostic blood test for AD as a cause of a patient’s symptoms.
