Levels were higher in both mild cognitive impairment (MCI-AD) and dementia (ADD) subgroups when compared to controls. For the discrimination of AD from controls, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.78.Our results indicate that CSF TMEM119 may have potential as a biomarker representing microglial involvement in early and later stages of AD.Elevated levels of TMEM119 were observed in the CSF of patients with AD.Increased CSF TMEM119 was seen in MCI-AD patients compared to controls.Elevated levels in MCI-AD underscore early microglial involvement in AD.In the AD group, an association was found between CSF TMEM119 and CSF total tau.CSF TMEM119 may provide valuable information on neuroinflammation. 000283139 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353$$a353 -
