Abstract

Introduction

Novel tools for absolute quantification of established and emerging fluid neuro-biomarkers are required to advance diagnostic studies and improve biological insights.Methods

We conducted an extensive analytical and clinical validation of the Olink™ Target 48 Neurodegeneration panel (T48 Neuropanel) in 352 paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma samples from cognitively unimpaired controls (CU), Alzheimer's dementia (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), n = 44 per group. Comparisons with benchmark assays were performed.Results

Good detectability (CSF: 31 out of 42 assays; plasma: 38 out of 42 assays) and technical performance was observed. Benchmark assays showed good correlations, supporting transformation formula's. Next to emerging biomarkers (MMP10, ITGB2), discriminative performance was excellent in AD: CSF pTau217: area under the curve (AUC) = 1; FTD: plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL): AUC = 0.952; and DLB: CSF dopa decarboxylase (DDC): AUC = 0.901.Discussion

This analytical and clinical validation of the T48 Neuropanel highlights initial cutoffs and emerging biomarkers to aid clinical studies for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases.
