Title:Baseline volumes and rates of WMH accrual in familial AD: relationships with brain atrophy and cognitive measures
Date of Request:1/26/2017
ID:-
Aim 1:to quantify WMH accrual in FAD using our longitudinal WMH measurement tool
Aim 2:to assess whether WMH accrual is related to concurrent atrophy of the brain and hippocampus, estimated using the boundary shift integral, and also to change in cognition.
Aim 3:to investigate whether any potential relationships from aims 1) and 2) differ according to genetic status (APP vs. PSEN1 vs. PSEN2).
Aim 4to investigate whether any potential relationships from aims 1) and 2) are materially altered by adjustment for APOE e4 status
