abstract = {ObjectiveAssess the performance of serum phosphorylated tau
217 (p-tau217) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in
predicting risk of cognitive impairment or phenoconversion
to dementia in individuals with iRBD.MethodsWe measured
serum p-tau217 and NfL levels by electrochemiluminescence
across 4 polysomnographically confirmed iRBD cohorts
(n = 300), including individuals who phenoconverted to
Parkinson's disease (PD) (n = 51), dementia with Lewy
bodies (DLB) (n = 22), and multiple system atrophy (MSA)
(n = 5).ResultsSerum p-tau217 levels were increased in
individuals with iRBD and cognitive impairment (CI) on
testing defined as Montreal Cognitive Assessment <26 or
subthreshold parkinsonism. p-Tau217 differentiated
individuals with iRBD who developed PD with CI (PD-CI) or
DLB from PD phenoconverters with normal cognition (area
under curve [AUC] = 0.82; $95\%$ confidence interval,
0.70–0.93) and from iRBD non-phenoconverters with normal
cognition (AUC = 0.83; $95\%$ confidence interval,
0.77–0.89). NfL levels did not correlate with cognitive or
motor scores and marginally improved p-tau217 performance
(AUC = 0.85; $95\%$ confidence interval, 0.78–0.92),
but were notably elevated in iRBD individuals who
phenoconverted to MSA. Individuals with p-tau217 in the top
quartile were 8 times more likely to phenoconvert to PD-CI
or DLB compared to the bottom quartile (hazard
ratio = 8.30; $95\%$ confidence interval,
2.49–27.65).InterpretationSerum p-tau217, but not NfL, is
a useful biomarker of cognitive impairment in iRBD that
could be integrated into a multimodal prognostic indicator
when stratifying risk of phenoconversion. ANN NEUROL 2025},
