Objective: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) differ in many respects. Here, we address the issue of possible differences in fibrillar amyloid pathology as measured by positron emission tomography (PET), which remains unresolved due to the lack of large-scale comparative studies.
Methods: Three hundred ninety-nine cognitively impaired participants younger than 65 years of age from the multicenter Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) and 450 cognitively impaired participants older than 65 years from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) underwent clinical assessment, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and amyloid PET and were included in this study.

Introduction: Whether temporal proximity to parental onset of dementia (PPO) can be used to estimate timing of the preclinical stage of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains uncertain.
Methods: We investigated cross-sectionally adults aged > 50 without dementia included in the European Prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia (EPAD) study. PPO was tested as a predictor of quantitative levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) β-amyloid (1-42) (Aβ1-42) in those with a parental history of dementia ( = 688) and of phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and EPAD neuropsychological examination (ENE) subscores in an amyloid positive subgroup ( = 226).

Introduction: Early-onset and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD and LOAD, respectively) have distinct clinical manifestations, with prior work based on small samples suggesting unique patterns of neurodegeneration. The current study performed a head-to-head comparison of cortical atrophy in EOAD and LOAD, using two large and well-characterized cohorts (LEADS and ADNI).
Methods: We analyzed brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquired from 377 sporadic EOAD patients and 317 sporadicLOAD patients who were amyloid positive and had mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia (i.

Background: As literature suggests that Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) and late-onset AD may differ in important ways, need exists for randomized clinical trials for treatments tailored to EOAD. Accurately measuring reliable cognitive change in individual patients with EOAD will have great value for these trials.
Objectives: The current study sought to characterize and validate 12-month reliable change from the Longitudinal Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) neuropsychological battery.

Background: The clinical presentations of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease are distinct, with EOAD having a more aggressive disease course with greater heterogeneity. Recent publications from the Longitudinal Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) described EOAD as predominantly amnestic, though this phenotypic description was based solely on clinical judgment. To better understand the phenotypic range of EOAD presentation, we applied a neuropsychological data-driven method to subtype the LEADS cohort.
