From the Department of Neuroscience and Neurology (Drs. Hallikainen, Soininen, and Pirttilä, S.-K. Herukka), University of Kuopio, and Department of Neurology (Drs. Soininen and Pirttilä), Kuopio University Hospital, Finland.

Baseline CSF amyloid ß-peptide-42 (Aß42), tau, and phosphorylated tau (P-tau) levels from 46 control subjects and 78 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were measured. Twenty-three patients with MCI developed dementia during the study. Abnormal biomarkers were found early in the course of Alzheimer disease (AD). The most predictive assay for AD among the patients with MCI was the combination of Aß42 and P-tau.

Supported by the Kuopio University Hospital (EVO grant nos. 5772720 and 5772725).

Received June 3, 2004. Accepted in final form December 14, 2004.
