Search DIAN Tissue Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-T1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:

DIAN-ADNI comparison study

Date of Request:

2/23/2017

ID:

DIAN-T1703

Aim 1:

In LOAD and ADAD determine whether both groups demonstrate initial cerebral amyloidosis that is followed by the development of neurodegeneration prior to onset of AD symptoms

Aim 2:

Characterize similarities and any differences in AD phenotypes between LOAD and ADAD

Aim 3:

In both LOAD and ADAD, determine whether there is a pattern of disease progression that is marked by intra-individual global cognitive and functional decline that culminates in death

Aim 4:

Examine the contribution of age to the dementing process.

Date of Request:

09/07/2017

Status:

Pending review

ID:

Date of Request:

11/02/2017

Status:

Pending

ID:

DIAN-T1710

Aim 1:

Title:

Role of amylin in AD

Date of Request:

11/27/2017

Status:

Pending

ID:

DIAN-T1711

Aim 1:

Test the hypothesis that the ratio of serum amylin to CSF amylin levels increases in fAD compared to age-matched cognitively normal individuals.

Aim 2:

Test the hypothesis that amylin interacts with Abeta to form mixed amylin-Abeta oligomers within CSF and serum in patients with fAD. We propose to measure the levels of mixed Abeta-amylin oligomers within CSF and serum in patients with fAD versus age-matched cognitively normal individuals.
