Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau217 performs better than p-tau181 as a biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau181 (tau phosphorylated at threonine 181) is an established biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) reflecting abnormal tau metabolism in the AD brain. Here the authors demonstrate that CSF p-tau217 shows better performance as an AD biomarker than p-tau181.
