TDP-43 pathology effect on volume and flortaucipir uptake in Alzheimer's disease
Arenn F Carlos, Nirubol Tosakulwong, Stephen D Weigand, Matthew L Senjem, Christopher G Schwarz, David S Knopman, Bradley F Boeve, Ronald C Petersen et al.. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2022-12-04
Topic: Plasma and spinal-fluid biomarkers
Older participants had lower hippocampal volumes and overall flortaucipir uptake. TDP-43-immunoreactivity correlated with reduced medial temporal volumes but was unrelated to flortaucipir uptake. TDP-43 effect size was consistent across the age spectrum. However, at older ages, the cohort mean volumes moved toward those of TDP-43-positives, reflecting the increasing TDP-43 pathology frequency with age. TDP-43 pathology is a relevant contributor driving the volume-uptake mismatch in older AD participants. HIGHLIGHTS: TDP-43 pathology affects medial temporal volume loss but not tau radiotracer uptake. Greater TDP-43 pathology effect is seen in old age due to its increasing frequency. TDP-43 pathology is a relevant driver of the volume-uptake mismatch in old AD patients.
Key findings
- Older participants had lower hippocampal volumes and overall flortaucipir uptake.
- TDP-43-immunoreactivity correlated with reduced medial temporal volumes but was unrelated to flortaucipir uptake.
- TDP-43 effect size was consistent across the age spectrum.
- However, at older ages, the cohort mean volumes moved toward those of TDP-43-positives, reflecting the increasing TDP-43 pathology frequency with age.
- TDP-43 pathology is a relevant contributor driving the volume-uptake mismatch in older AD participants.

How this study scored 48/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 27 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 48 out of 100.
