Prevalence of Alzheimer's pathologic endophenotypes in asymptomatic and mildly impaired first-degree relatives.

<h4>Objective</h4>A positive family history (FH) is a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our aim was to examine the effects of FH on pathological and neuronal loss biomarkers across the cognitive spectrum.<h4>Design</h4>Cross-sectional analyses of data...
