abstract = {The early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (ADD) has gained
new significance through the further discovery of blood
biomarkers. Blood biomarkers are less expensive, can be
measured fully automatically with high throughput, are less
invasive and provide faster information on specific dementia
biomarkers than current methods used in routine clinical
practice such as amyloid positron emission tomography (PET)
or CSF examination of underlying pathological changes in
Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients with cognitive
impairment. The aim of this review is to provide a
presentation of the added value of blood-based biomarkers
for the early diagnosis of ADD. Individual blood biomarkers
are presented regarding their diagnostic reliability and
predictive value for the diagnosis of AD in precursors of
ADD ranging from subjective cognitive impairment (SCD) to
mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In addition, the revised
criteria for the diagnosis and staging of AD are discussed.
Markers of tau pathology such as a phosphorylated tau
protein 217 (p-tau217), a phosphorylated tau protein 181
(p-tau181), a phosphorylated tau protein 231 (p-tau231), but
also amyloid-β (Aβ) markers such as the ratio of Aβ1-42/
1-40 are described as specific biomarkers for the early
diagnosis of AD. In addition, new amyloid peptide ratios
such as Aβ-3-42/-3-40 are discussed, which may provide more
insights into the pathogenesis of AD, as this N-terminal
elongated Aβ peptides are cleaved from the amyloid
precursor protein via a biochemical
oligodendroglia-dependent pathway (ADAMTS4=disintegrin and
metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4), which is
important in AD pathophysiology due to oligodendroglia
involvement. In addition, new promising composite hybrid
ratios are explained, which could provide advantages in the
early diagnosis of AD, such as the AT217-term or the
AT181-term, which relates Aβ1-40 to Aβ1-42 and multiplies
it by p-tau217 and p-tau181, respectively. Overall, the
review provides an overview of the potential of blood
biomarkers in the early diagnosis of ADD. However, these
biomarkers should not be used alone for early diagnosis, but
should always be evaluated in conjunction with other tests
such as cerebrospinal fluid analysis.},
