Objective: In a multicenter cohort of probable dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), we tested the hypothesis that β-amyloid and tau biomarker positivity increases with age, which is modified by genotype and sex, and that there are isolated and synergistic associations with the clinical phenotype.

Methods: We included 417 patients with DLB (age 45-93 years, 31% women). Positivity on β-amyloid (A+) and tau (T+) biomarkers was determined by CSF β-amyloid and phosphorylated tau in the European cohort and by Pittsburgh compound B and AV-1451 PET in the Mayo Clinic cohort.

Decrease in Aβ42 predicts dopa-resistant gait progression in early Parkinson disease.

Neurology

April 2017

From the Institute of Neuroscience (L.R., B.G., S.L., A.J.Y., R.M., G.D., T.K.K., D.J.B.), Clinical Ageing Research Unit, Newcastle University; Department of Geriatric Medicine (G.D.), University of Edinburgh, UK; School of Medicine & Menzies Health Institute (T.K.K.), Griffith University, Australia; and Paracelsus-Elena Klinik, Kassel and University Medical Centre (Institute of Neuropathology and Department of Neurosurgery) (B.M.), Göttingen, Germany.

Objective: This prospective observational study investigates the role of CSF biomarkers in predicting progression of dopa-resistant gait impairments in Parkinson disease (PD) in the first 36 months from diagnosis.

Methods: Quantitative gait analysis was carried out longitudinally using an instrumented walkway (GAITRite) in 108 people with PD and 130 age-matched controls. A subgroup of 44 people with PD underwent lumbar puncture from which a battery of CSF biomarkers was measured: β-amyloid 1-42 and 1-40 (Aβ42 and Aβ40), total and phosphorylated tau protein (t-tau/p-tau), and α-synuclein (αSyn).

Monitoring of 30 marker candidates in early Parkinson disease as progression markers.

Neurology

July 2016

From Paracelsus-Elena-Klinik (B.M., F.S.-D., T.W., J.E., M.S., E.L., E.T., C.T.), Kassel; Departments of Neurosurgery (B.M., C.T.) and Medical Statistics (T.F.) and Institute of Neuropathology (B.M.), University Medical Centre Göttingen; Psychologische Hochschule Berlin (J.Z.); Department of Neurology/Epileptology and Hertie Institute of Clinical Brain Research (N.K.F.), University of Tübingen, Germany; Clinical Neurochemistry Laboratory (H.Z.), Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Mölndal, Sweden; UCL Institute of Neurology (H.Z.), Queen Square, London, UK; and BioLegend (P.T.), Dedham, MA.

Objective: This was a longitudinal single-center cohort study to comprehensively explore multimodal progression markers for Parkinson disease (PD) in patients with recently diagnosed PD (n = 123) and age-matched, neurologically healthy controls (HC; n = 106).

Methods: Thirty tests at baseline and after 24 months covered nonmotor symptoms (NMS), cognitive function, and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) by polysomnography (PSG), voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of the brain by MRI, and CSF markers. Linear mixed-effect models were used to estimate differences of rates of change and to provide standardized effect sizes (d) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Objective: To determine nonmotor signs (NMS) and evaluate the utility of several diagnostic tools in patients with de novo Parkinson disease (PD).

Methods: This is a large single-center study of the DeNoPa cohort, including frequency-matched healthy controls. This study covers motor signs, NMS, and a combination of diagnostic tests including olfactory testing, transcranial sonography of substantia nigra (TCS), and polysomnography (PSG).
