چکیده
Abstract Background Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) phenotypes can be associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is unknown whether differences exist in relationship between markers of such as tau and neurofilament light chain (NFL) cognition FTLD without AD. Method 40 patients were included this study: (A) 31 AD [5 behavioral variant FTD, 11 corticobasal syndrome (CBS), 1 non‐fluent primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA), 12 supranuclear palsy (PSP), 2 semantic PPA (svPPA); age (67.74±10.28); sex (20M:11F)]; (B) 9 positive for [6 CBS‐AD, nfvPPA‐AD, PSP‐AD, svPPA‐AD; (66±8.46); (5M:4F)]. CSF levels Aβ42, phosphorylated (p‐tau) & total (t‐tau) measured using sandwich ELISA pathology was deemed present if p‐tau > 68 pg/mL Aβ42 to t‐tau index < 0.8. NFL SIMOA. Full neuropsychological battery completed, controlled age/education. Result In the cohort, significant relationships observed CDR sum boxes (r=0.599, p=.001) MOCA (r=‐0.530, p=.004). group, digit span backwards (DSB) significantly (r=‐0.492, p=.009) (r=‐0.427, p=.02); while verbal fluency, Trail Making Test part A forward (DSF) only related (r=‐0.410, p=.03; r=0.463, p=.02; r=‐0.374, p=.05, respectively). FTLD‐AD (r=‐1.00, p<.0001) (r=‐0.887, memory executive function tests including California learning test 30s recall, DSB DSF (r=‐0.788, p=.04; r=‐0.836, r=‐0.760, p=.07, respectively); fluency category (r=‐0.841, r=‐1.00, p<.0001), (r=‐0.981, p<.001; (r=‐0.984, r=‐0.977, Conclusion both AD, overall severity but it t‐tau. The presence alters NFL, which may indicative extent degeneration.

Diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid tau, neurofilament, and progranulin in definite frontotemporal lobar degeneration
BACKGROUND We explored the diagnostic performance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in allowing differentiation between frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as between FTLD pathological subtypes. METHODS CSF levels of routine AD biomarkers (phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), total tau (t-tau), and amyloid-beta (Aβ)1-42) and neurofilament proteins, a...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid tau in frontotemporal lobar degeneration: clinical, neuroimaging, and prognostic correlates.
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) refers to heterogeneous clinical and biological conditions. In FTLD, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau levels have been reported highly variable. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether CSF tau might be the hallmark of a distinct FTLD phenotype. Fifty-five FTLD patients, who underwent CSF analysis, were considered in the present study. In each p...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid tau, neurogranin, and neurofilament light in Alzheimer's disease
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau (total tau, T-tau), neurofilament light (NFL), and neurogranin (Ng) are potential biomarkers for neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is unknown whether these biomarkers provide similar or complementary information in AD. We examined 93 patients with AD, 187 patients with mild cognitive impairment, and 109 controls. T-tau, Ng, and NFL were all predicto...

متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid TDP-43 in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients with and without the C9ORF72 Hexanucleotide Expansion
BACKGROUND TDP-43 is the main protein component of ubiquitinated inclusions in a subgroup of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. The C9ORF72 hexanucleotide expansion is one of the main mutations associated with TDP-43 pathology in FTLD and ALS. Our aim was to analyze cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TDP-43 levels and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers...
