Extended Data Fig. 2. Phenotypic heterogeneity for key imaging outcomes by ADAD mutation type.

Extended Data Fig. 2

A density plot representing the distribution of pathological accumulation of common biomarkers of ADAD. Here, separate density curves are plotted for carriers of the PSEN1 (purple) and APP (blue) mutations. While we typically think of ADAD as a homogenous form of AD, each mutation conveys a variable impact on the phenotypic expression of these common biomarkers. Values represent z-scores relative to the unimpaired mutation non-carriers. The black dashed line represents the mean value for mutation non-carriers, while colored dashed lines represent mean z-scores for each group, respectively. Amyloid deposition represents PiB SUVR uptake (n = 281), hypometabolism is derived from FDG SUVR update (n = 296), cortical atrophy is a measure of cortical thickness (n = 318), hippocampal atrophy is a measure of hippocampal volume (n = 318), clinical symptoms represent MMSE scores (n = 316), and cognitive decline represents accuracy on a composite of general cognitive tasks (n = 305). Plot demographics: n = 318, average age = 39.4, proportion females = 56%.
