摘要
With the arrival of symptomatic treatment (acetylcholine esterase inhibitors) and the promise of drugs that may delay disease progression, development of diagnostic biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are important. beta-Amyloid (Abeta) protein is the main component of senile plaques. A marked reduction in cerebrospinal nuid (CSF)-Abeta42 in AD has been found in numerous studies. Importantly, reduced CSF-Abeta42 is also found very early in the disease process, before the onset of clinical symptoms. Recent studies suggest that CSF-Abeta42 have a satisfactory performance when used as a diagnostic marker for AD in clinical routine. This paper reviews CSF-Abeta42 as a biomarker for AD.
