The relationship of soluble p‐tau isoforms with brain amyloid and tau deposition in sporadic AD

Hyperphosphorylated tau isoforms (p‐tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma represent promising measures to monitor Alzheimer disease (AD) pathological changes. Brain amyloid deposition precedes tau aggregation and associated clinical decline by two decades. Several CSF and plasma p‐tau isoforms have been described as potential surrogates for tau Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, but p‐tau isoforms have a strong association with amyloid PET, and increase without tau pathology. In this study, we investigated the relationship between multiple CSF p‐tau isoforms and brain imaging measures in the Knight ADRC cohort.
