Abstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease, the most prevalent cause of dementia, is a worldwide health problem. Proteomics is the systematic study of proteins and peptides to provide comprehensive descriptions. Aiming to obtain a more accurate and convenient clinical diagnosis, researchers are working on blood biomarkers.
Method: This review synthesizes findings from previous studies investigating blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease using proteomic approaches.
Results: We summarized the application of blood proteomics as diagnostic biomarkers and associations with clinical indicators such as neuropsychological performances, Aβ deposition and brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease, and mild cognitive impairment.
Conclusion: In summary, blood proteomics is suggested to be promising in biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease.
期刊介绍:
Postgraduate Medical Journal is a peer reviewed journal published on behalf of the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine. The journal aims to support junior doctors and their teachers and contribute to the continuing professional development of all doctors by publishing papers on a wide range of topics relevant to the practicing clinician and teacher. Papers published in PMJ include those that focus on core competencies; that describe current practice and new developments in all branches of medicine; that describe relevance and impact of translational research on clinical practice; that provide background relevant to examinations; and papers on medical education and medical education research. PMJ supports CPD by providing the opportunity for doctors to publish many types of articles including original clinical research; reviews; quality improvement reports; editorials, and correspondence on clinical matters.
