A genetics‐based biomarker risk algorithm for predicting risk of Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

A straightforward, reproducible blood‐based test that predicts age‐dependent risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) could be used as an enrichment tool for clinical development of therapies. This study evaluated the prognostic performance of a genetics‐based biomarker risk algorithm (GBRA) established on a combination of apolipoprotein E (APOE)/translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog (TOMM40) genotypes and age, then compare it to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, neuroimaging, and neurocognitive tests using data from two independent AD cohorts.
