Introduction: Lecanemab (LEQEMBI®), a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting Amyloid-beta (Aβ) protofibrils, received full FDA approval in July 2023 for treating early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). This abstract highlights Tel Aviv Medical Center's (TLVMC) specialized infrastructure for early AD diagnosis and treatment and includes presenting baseline characteristics of initial patients opting for LEQEMBI®.
Methods: Outlining our clinics' operational experience in establishing the Center for advanced treatments for AD, treatment protocol, and a descriptive analysis of baseline assessment data including demographics, baseline Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging (MRI), Cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF)/PET biomarkers, pre-treatment cognitive evaluations (Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE)/Montreal-Cognitive-Assessment (MoCA)), and Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) status.

: Alzheimer's dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects memory abilities due to genetic and environmental factors. A well-known gene that influences the risk of Alzheimer's disease is the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. The APOE gene is involved in the production of a protein that helps transport cholesterol and other types of fat in the bloodstream.

Background/objectives: Research has suggested a potential relationship between apolipoproteins A (ApoA) and B (ApoB) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study explored the potential causal relationship between ApoA/ApoB levels and AMD/AMD subtypes using two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR).
Methods: We selected 308 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for ApoA and 198 SNPs for ApoB from the UK Biobank data.

Background: APOE gene polym orphisms have been linked to Alzheimer's disease and coronary heart diseases. However, their relationship with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains uncertain.
Methods: This study analyzed a cohort of 600 individuals comprising 200 LUAD patients in the lung cancer group and 400 healthy individuals as controls.

Background: The success of selecting high risk or early-stage Alzheimer's disease individuals for the delivery of clinical trials depends on the design and the appropriate recruitment of participants. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) show potential for identifying individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our study comprehensively examines AD PRS utility using various methods and models.
