Differential diagnosis from dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) in clinical settings is difficult.
METHODS: The analytical performance of the INNOTEST PHOSPHO-TAU(181P) assay was validated in terms of selectivity, sensitivity, specificity, precision, robustness, and stability. Clinical utility of the assay alone, or combined with T-tau and Abeta(1-42), for discrimination of AD (n=94) from patients suffering from DLB (n=60) or from age-matched control subjects (CS) (n=60) was assessed in a multicenter study.
RESULTS: CSF concentrations of tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau(181P)) in AD was significantly higher than in DLB and CS. Discriminant analysis, a classification tree, and logistic regression showed that P-tau(181P) was the most statistically significant single variable of the three biomarkers for discrimination between AD and DLB.
CONCLUSIONS: P-tau(181P) quantification is a robust and reliable assay that may be useful in discriminating AD from DLB.Link for e-copy: http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/CCLM.2006.258 Format of e-copy: PDF [Requires Subscription] Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=2205 [article]
