The data are presented as median [interquartile range], unless otherwise indicated. In groups with n < 5, the individual values for each variable are presented

1 C-PIB data were not available for one participant (n = 1)

2 One participant was carrier of the APParc mutation (n = 1)

3 Two participants were carriers of the APParc mutation (n = 2)

4 Plasma GFAP measures were not available for two participants (n = 2)

NC: non-carriers; pMC: presymptomatic mutation carriers; sMC: symptomatic mutation carriers; MCI-: MCI with a negative amyloid-β PET scan; MCI+: MCI with a positive amyloid-β PET scan; AD: Alzheimer’s disease dementia
