Decreased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) beta-amyloid 42 (A beta 42) concentration, but not A beta 40 concentration, is a biomarker for Alzheimer disease. This A beta 42 concentration decrease in CSF likely reflects precipitation of A beta 42 in amyloid plaques in brain parenchyma. This pathogenic plaque deposition begins years before the clinical expression of dementia in Alzheimer disease. Normal aging and the presence of the apolipoprotein E (APOE*4) allele are the most important known risk factors for Alzheimer disease.
