Associations of Microbleeds and Their Topography With Imaging and CSF Biomarkers of Alzheimer Pathology in Individuals With Down Syndrome

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Cerebral hemorrhages are an exclusion criterion and potential adverse effect of antiamyloid agents. It is, therefore, critical to characterize the natural history of cerebral microbleeds in populations genetically predisposed to Alzheimer disease (AD), such as Down syndrome (DS). We aimed to assess microbleed emergence in adults with DS across the AD spectrum, defining their topography and associations with clinical variables, cognitive outcomes, and fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers.
