41 Summary There are several classifications schemes that can be used to classify neurodegenerative diseases, today s focus was on molecular classification. The number of both multiproteinopathies increases with age and shifts to a female predominance AD is prime example of a multiproteinopathy and can be classified based on the predominance of neurofibrillary tangles 2012 MFMER slide-42
42 Summary & Conclusion AD subtypes differ by gender, age, age of onset, disease duration, and cognitive decline Neuropathologic differences in AD subtypes is associated with quantitative differences in early and late tau, as well as amyloid burden Co-existing neuropathology is common finding and should be considered when inferring the cognitive correlates of neuropathologic accumulation Classification of neurodegenerative disease as single proteinopathies has its limitations, as many disorders are frequently found to have multiple proteins 2012 MFMER slide-43
