RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Neuropsychological assessments are essential to define the cognitive profile and contribute to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The progress in knowledge about the pathophysiological process of the disease has allowed conceptualizing AD through biomarkers as a biological continuum that encompasses different clinical stages. OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD and cognition using the NEURONORMA battery, in a sample of cognitively unimpaired (CU), mild cognitive impaired (MCI), and mild dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) subjects, and to characterize the cognitive profiles in MCI subjects classified by A/T/N system. METHODS: 42 CU, 35 MCI, and 35 mild DAT were assessed using the NEURONORMA battery. Core AD biomarkers [amyloid-ß42 (Aß42) peptide, total tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau181)] proteins were measured in CSF. Correlation coefficients, multivariate regression, and effect sizes were calculated. We explored the age- and education-adjusted cognitive profiles by A/T/N variants within the MCI group. RESULTS: Cognitive outcomes were directly associated with CSF Aß42 and inversely with CSF tau measures. We found differences in both biomarkers and cognitive outcomes comparing all pairs except for CSF measures between cognitively impaired groups. The highest effect size was in memory tasks and biomarkers ratios. Lower performances were in memory and executive domains in MCI subjects with AD pathology (A+T+N±) compared to those with normal levels of AD biomarkers (A- T- N). CONCLUSION: This study provides further evidence of the validity of Spanish NEURONORMA cognitive battery to characterize cognitive impairment in the AD pathological continuum.

RESUMEN

Mutations in the MAPT gene cause frontotemporal dementia with tau deposits. We report the novel p.P397S MAPT variant in eight subjects from five apparently nonrelated families suffering from frontotemporal dementia with autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. In silico analysis reported conflicting evidence of pathogenicity. The segregation analysis support that this variant is likely pathogenic. The mean age at onset (61.4 years) and mean disease duration (13.9 years) of these subjects and their affected relatives were significantly higher compared with our series of p.P301L MAPT mutation carriers. These findings suggest that p.P397S variant could be a new MAPT mutation associated with a less aggressive phenotype than other MAPT mutations.
