Novel CSF biomarkers being investigated in AD
August 10, 2016…ll text at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/25867677/). Results were compared to those for tau, p-tau181 and beta-amyloid42 in CSF. CSF and MRI were obtained over a 2-3 year follow-up. Mean age was 72.6 years. VILIP-1, tau and p-tau181 at baseline were comparably predictive of subsequent whole-brain and regional atrophy. Beta-amyloid42 was not useful as an atrophy biomarker. VILIP-1 was predictive of whole-brain, hippocampal and entorhinal a…
