A clinical diagnosis of 1 represents NCI, of 2 represents MCI, and of 4 represents AD. AD cases are divided based on MMSE scores as a measure of the severity of the disease. The global cognitive score was assessed as described.17 M, male; F, female. 

*

The global cognitive score of this case was not taken at the time that the MMSE score was 15. Scores taken 3 to 7 years before death indicate declining function.
