  1. Amyloid (Aβ) pathology is the earliest detectable pathophysiological event along the Alzheimer's continuum, which can be measured both in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and by Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

  2. Apolipoprotein E, not fibrillar β-amyloid, reduces cerebral glucose metabolism in normal aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2012-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The ε4 allele of the polymorphic apolipoprotein E gene is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ), and reduction in cerebral glucose metabolism in asymptomatic people.

  3. Increased fibrillar amyloid-{beta} burden in normal individuals with a family history of late-onset Alzheimer's

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2010-03-15 Brain scans and imaging

    Having a parent affected with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a major risk factor among cognitively normal (NL) individuals.
