We aimed to investigate the predictability of MDS-OAβ on amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) positivity.Patients and Methods: A total of 96 subjects who visited Seoul National University Bundang Hospital for medical check-up complaining of cognitive decline and had undergone extensive medical assessment were recruited. Amyloid statuses were dichotomized into positive or negative based on visual assessment of amyloid PET. Plasma OAβ concentration was measured by MDS-OAβ. In the previous validation study, 0.78ng/mL was established as the cut-off value and the plasma OAβ concentration higher than or equal to the cut-off value was defined as MDS-OAβ positive.Results: MDS-OAβ positivity could discriminate amyloid PET positivity with the AUC value of 0.855 (95% CI 0.776– 0.933). Adding MDS-OAβ positivity to prediction models including age, MMSE score, and APOE ϵ4 status improved performance up to the AUC value of 0.926 (95% CI 0.871– 0.980).Conclusion: The Aβ oligomerization tendency in plasma could predict amyloid PET positivity with high performance, and, when it is combined with age, MMSE score, and APOE ϵ4 status, predictability was improved substantially. This suggests the potential of MDS-OAβ as a useful initial stage test in the clinical and research fields of AD.Keywords: multimer detection system-oligomeric amyloid-β, Aβ oligomer, predictability, amyloidopathy, blood-based biomarker |
