    Concentrations of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 were much higher in adults with DS than in other groups, reflecting APP gene triplication, while no difference in the Aβ 42 /Aβ 40 ratio between those with DS and sAD may indicate similar processing and deposition of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 in these groups.

    Dementia is a frequent complication of Parkinson's disease (PD) and usually occurs late in the protracted course of the illness.
