Although numerous studies have confirmed that inheritance of APOE-ε4 is associated with a higher risk for development of AD, results on the relationship between the APOE status and rate of disease progression appear contradictory.1-3 The lack of conclusive findings probably is due, in part, to insufficient clinical or laboratory data other than APOE status. Further, although CSF-tau and amyloid-β peptide1-42 (CSF-Aβ1-42) levels have been proposed as reliable biomarkers of AD to aid in the diagnosis of AD,4 it appears that there have been no established biomarkers that accurately monitor the disease progression or that predict future decline of cognitive function in AD. Here, we report that rate of cognitive decline can be predicted simply and accurately by a combination of allele …
