Extended Data Fig. 5 |. No difference in serum NfL rate of change among APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 mutation carriers and no association with estimated age of onset.
a, Using two-tailed pairwise Student’s t-tests, no differences in the rate of change of log(serum NfL) (year−1) levels among APP (n = 24), PSEN1 (n = 104), and PSEN2 (n = 5) mutation carriers (F(2, 130) = 0.4678, P = 0.6274) was found. Similarly, no differences were found when age and disease status (presymptomatic, symptomatic) were treated as covariates in a two-tailed pairwise Student’s t-test. b, No difference between an individual’s deviation from the EYO-adjusted median rate of change in NfL and their expected age of symptom onset using LMEMs. Individuals were grouped in 4 categories with expected symptom onset at 20–39 (n = 17), 40–49 (n = 54), 50–59 (n = 56), and over 60 years of age (n = 6); group comparisons, P > 0.146. See Methods for the calculations. The boxes map to the median, 25th and 75th quintiles, and the whiskers extend to the 1.5 × IQR.
