rho P value rho P value rho P value
Precuneus −0.45 .0001 −0.27 .029 0.17 .182
Inferior Parietal −0.47 <.0001 −0.28 .026 0.06 .650

Abbreviations: CDR-SB, Clinical Dementia Rating–Sum of Boxes; FDG, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose; PiB, 11C-Pittsburgh compound B; EPiB, early frames of the PiB scan.

NOTE. Statistically significant values are listed in bold (P value <.05).

NOTE. Evaluation of correlation between the tracers and dementia in mutation carriers (n = 65). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rho) and P values are displayed for FDG and CDR-SB, ePiB, and CDR-SB, and for PiB-R1 and CDR-SB. There were strong negative correlations between FDG and CDR-SB, but no correlation between ePiB and CDR-SB.
