Background and objectives In the autosomal dominant genetic forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), symptom onset is predictable across generations. It is possible to estimate the number of years until symptom onset (EYO) in individuals that have a genetic mutation causing AD by subtracting their parent’s symptom onset age from their current age. 1 Whether the age of the parent’s symptom onset can help predict biomarker abnormalities in sporadic AD is not known. We sought to assess whether amyloid-beta (Aβ) burden, a pathological hallmark of AD, appears in a similarly predictable manner among cognitively normal persons with a parental history of sporadic AD. Because apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 and female gender increase the risk of sporadic AD, we further assessed whether the relationship between spEYO and AD biomarkers are influenced by these risk factors. Method: spEYO calculation The “Sporadic Parental Estimated Years from Symptom Onset” (spEYO) score was calculated as follows: age of the participant at assessment age of the parent at symptom onset Method: Participants Analyses were performed on cognitively normal older adults from the Pre-symptomatic Evaluation of Novel or Experimental Treatments for Alzheimer's Disease (PREVENT-AD) cohort, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. 2 The main analyses were repeated in two independent cohorts [the Knight Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Adult Children Study (ACS) 3 and the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention (WRAP) 4 ] using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and Pittsburgh compound B positron emission tomography (PIB-PET) Aβ biomarkers. Method: Aβ assessment CSF Aβ 1-42 levels from the PREVENT-AD and the ACS cohort were determined by INNOTEST ELISA. CSF Aβ 1-42 levels from the WRAP were quantified by electrochemiluminescence using an Aβ triplex assay. PIB-PET was not available for the PREVENT-AD cohort; PIB-PET from the ACS cohort [60-minute, cerebellar ref. region]; PIB-PET from the WRAP cohort [70-minute, cerebellar ref. region]. PIB-PET annual rate of change was calculated as follows: [Aβ scores at follow-up Aβ scores at baseline] ÷ interval (in years) between the two scans Proximity to parental symptom onset and amyloid burden in the PREVENT-AD cohort. As individuals get closer to their parent’s symptom age of onset they show decreased concentrations of CSF Aβ 1-42 (indicating increased brain Aβ deposition). These relationships are stronger in women (pink, second row) and in APOE4 carriers (green, third row). Analyses were controlled for age, gender and education. In the PREVENT-AD cohort, CSF Aβ 1-42 values changed with proximity to parental symptom onset, such that individuals approaching their parent’s symptom onset age showed lower Aβ levels. Interaction analyses showed that this effect is stronger in both APOE4 carriers and women. In the ACS cohort, the main effect was replicated using PIB-PET data and the gender interaction was replicated using both CSF and PIB-PET data. In the WRAP cohort, the results were not replicated using cross-sectional data, but the main effect and the APOE interaction were replicated using PIB-PET longitudinal data, suggesting that APOE4 carriers accumulate brain Aβ at a faster rate as they approach the age of their parent’s symptom onset. These results suggest that proximity to parental symptom onset can help estimate Aβ biomarker changes in asymptomatic individuals at risk of AD, particularly in women and APOE4 carriers.

The interaction between spEYO and sex was also replicated using both CSF Aβ 1-42 level and PIB-PET data. The spEYO*APOE interaction was not replicated in the ACS cohort. Longitudinal ACS PIB-PET data further suggests that women tend to accumulate brain Aβ at a faster rate than men as they approach the age of their parent’s onset. We did not replicate the PREVENT-AD cross-sectional findings. As individuals approach the age of their parent’s symptom onset they however demonstrate faster rate of brain Aβ accumulation. The spEYO*APOE interaction further suggests that this last association is stronger in APOE4 carriers than in non-APOE4 carriers.

SummaryandConclusions

ACScohort WRAPcohort

• The relationship between spEYO and Aβ burden was replicated in the ACS PIB-PET cohort, with an increase of brain Aβ deposition as individuals approach their parent’s symptom onset.

• The interaction between spEYO and sex was also replicated using both CSF Aβ1-42 level and PIB-PET data.

• The spEYO*APOE interaction was not replicated in the ACS cohort.

• Longitudinal ACS PIB-PET data further suggests that women tend to accumulate brain Aβ at a faster rate than men as they approach the age of their parent’s onset.

• We did not replicate the PREVENT-AD cross-sectional findings.

• As individuals approach the age of their parent’s symptom onset they however demonstrate faster rate of brain Aβ accumulation.

• The spEYO*APOE interaction further suggests that this last association is stronger in APOE4 carriers than in non-APOE4 carriers.
