Polygenic score is associated with accelerated tau pathology accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease

Progression of fibrillar tau is a key driver of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), however which factors predict the rate of tau accumulation at the patient‐level is unclear. Here we propose to employ a polygenic score (PGS) for the prediction of tau accumulation and cognitive changes in AD, which could be useful for selection of individuals with faster tau progression in clinical trials.
