The DIAN-OBS comprises seven core centers, each working symbiotically to collect, analyze and prepare data for regular data releases. In the original grant cycle, these visits were completed every 3 years for asymptomatic participants and annually for symptomatic participants. After the DIAN grant cycle was renewed, the visit frequency was updated to be completed every 2 years for asymptomatic participants and annually for symptomatic participants. Given that most participants live large distances from the study sites, they typically travel to the location and complete all parts across 3 d. If1110.1038/s41593-023-01359-8participants live large distances from the study sites, they typically travel to the location and complete all parts across 3 d. If participants live in a study site city, they are able to complete the various components of the visit within 3 months. As the DIAN-OBS begins to implement tau-PET scans at applicable sites, these will be collected in place of the FDG-PET scans. Asymptomatic non-carriers stop in-person visits 5 years after they surpass their parental age of symptom onset. Figure created with BioRender.com.
