“This is an exciting and much-needed development,” says George Vradenburg, chairman and co-founder of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s. “The advance of blood-based tests for use by physicians in the Alzheimer’s diagnostic process is occurring at a much more rapid pace than many in the field have ...
In comparison to amyloid PET and CSF testing, BBMs have major practical advantages that may enable broader use for AD biomarker testing. These include acceptability of blood draws by patients, accessibility of equipment and staff, and lower costs3. However, clinically available BBMs have widely vari...
Blood biomarker (BBM) tests for amyloid pathology are more acceptable, accessible and scalable than amyloid PET or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests, but have highly variable levels of performance. The Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer’s Disease convened a BBM Workgroup to consider the minimum ...
However, the administration of these drugs presents challenges owing to the invasiveness, high cost and limited availability of amyloid-PET and cerebrospinal fluid tests for guiding drug administration. Our manuscript explores the potential of less invasive blood biomarkers as a diagnostic method, with ...
The use of melatonin as potential blood biomarker for disease progression should be further investigated.Availability of data and materials All data generated during this study/systematic review are included in this published article since this data only includes information acquired from published studies...
Blood-based protein measurement is a routine practice for detecting biomarkers in human disease. Comprehensive profiling of blood/plasma/serum proteome is a challenge due to an extremely large dynamic range, as exemplified by a small subset of highly abu
The goal of managing any disease is primary prevention and, ultimately, we anticipate blood-based assays of amyloid dysregulation or other changes that will enable primary prevention studies. We can envision eventual management of such indicators of risk of amyloid accumulation with secretase inhibitors...
Whole blood samples from 508 participants in the J-ADNI cohort and post-mortem frontal cortices from 577 donors in the NP cohort were genotyped using the Infinium Asian Screening Array (Illumina), containing 657,490 SNPs. APOE genotypes in each participant were determined by haplotypes derived fr...

Blood plasma %p-tau217 demonstrated performance that was clinically equivalent or superior to clinically used FDA-approved CSF tests in the detection of AD pathology. Use of high-performance blood tests in clinical practice can improve access to accurate AD diagnosis and AD-specific treatments....
