Plasma biomarkers predict Alzheimer’s disease before clinical onset in Chinese cohorts

H. Cai, Y. Pang, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Huimin Cai, Yana Pang, Xiaofeng Fu, Ziye Ren, and Longfei Jia explores how specific plasma biomarkers may predict Alzheimer's disease in Chinese populations. The findings reveal significant correlations between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, showcasing a promising method for early detection in preclinical AD cases.

Abstract
This study investigated the predictive capacity of plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Chinese populations. Plasma amyloid-β (Aβ)42, phosphorylated tau (p-tau)181, and neurofilament light chain (NfL) were analyzed in two cohorts: a longitudinal cohort with 8-10 years of follow-up and a replication cohort of familial AD mutation carriers. Results showed significant correlations between plasma biomarkers and their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) counterparts. Combining plasma Aβ42, p-tau181, and NfL successfully discriminated preclinical AD from controls, suggesting potential for early AD prediction in Chinese populations.
