SUMMARY

The incidence of AD dementia is increasing due to the aging population, putting a heavy burden on our society and economics. Exploring the mechanisms underlying SCD due to preclinical AD has scientific and clinical significance. However, it is challenging to construct and validate the preclinical diagnosis model of AD with fused multimodel information across culture/race. From the cooperation during the past five years, we have established cohorts by synchronized assessment, achieved consensus on SCD features extraction and made a breakthrough in the application of multiple parameter MRI with German collaborators. Therefore, in this project, SCD with and without amyloid pathology will be compared by clinical and cognitive data, genetics, blood and MRI biomarkers between the German and Chinese. Key features will be extracted and specific characteristics of SCD due to preclinical AD as well as risk factors for conversion between two countries will be clarified. Then the diagnosis model of preclinical AD in SCD will be established across culture/race based on radiogenomics, which will improve the current diagnostic system of AD. Through this project, the value of SCD in the etiologic, anatomical and quantitative diagnosis of preclinical AD will be identified to improve sensitivity and specificity of preclinical AD diagnosis in clinical practice.

Treatments
SCD subjects with positive amyloid
In this study, the participants are from two research centers in China and Germany. All participants will conduct amyloid PET scanning, after which they are classified into two grous (SCD with amyloid+ and SCD with amyloid-). SCD subjects with positive amyloid show the evidence of amyloid deposition in brain. They have higher risk of conversion to mild cognitive impairment and dementia compared with SCD with negative amyloid. They are also considered as preclinical AD.
