We propose recommendations for the approach to the evaluation of PCA clinical features during the office visit, the neuropsychological evaluation, and the research setting. A recommended screening battery for eye clinics is also proposed.

Introduction: Cortical thinning is a marker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the age-related trajectory of cortical thickness across the lifespan (9-59 years) in a Colombian kindred with autosomal dominant AD (ADAD).

Methods: CN participants screening for the A4 Study (n = 4486) underwent florbetapir (amyloid) positron emission tomography. IADL were assessed using the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Prevention Instrument.
