The test results are then used to produce the\u00a0AD-Detect Likelihood Score\u2122, a composite interpretation created through a proprietary algorithm\u00a0validated utilizing a well-characterized cohort from the 1Florida Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease Research Center (ADRC).<\/p>\n<p>The new Quest test panel builds on prior AD-Detect tests that individually assess AB 42\/40 and p-tau217, as well as p-tau181 and the ApoE isoform, a genetic risk marker. Those tests help providers assess risk of AD rather than confirm likelihood of amyloid brain pathology due to AD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quest&#8217;s AD-Detect suite of advanced diagnostics has grown to include a range of validated blood-based biomarkers, giving providers options for personalizing testing for the individual patient,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Kathleen Valentine<\/span>, Vice President and General Manager, Neurology, Quest Diagnostics. &#8220;Quest&#8217;s innovations in blood testing combined with our broad patient access are making it easier, faster and more affordable to evaluate patients for AD and other complex diseases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>Research demonstrates test&#8217;s strong alignment with PET<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>In AD, a protein called amyloid forms plaques in the brain, triggering changes in another protein, tau, and causing it to twist into tangles. These plaques and tangles disrupt brain cell function while also causing abnormal levels of both proteins to circulate in the blood stream.<\/p>\n<p>In an oral presentation given this week at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN)&#8217;s Annual Meeting in <span class=\"xn-location\">San Diego<\/span>, Quest researchers presented <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4401449-1&amp;h=2843423632&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aan.com%2Fmsa%2FPublic%2FEvents%2FAbstractDetails%2F58279&amp;a=data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> demonstrating that the new test would have a positive predictive value (PPV, the likelihood of disease) of 89% and negative predictive value (NPV, the likelihood there is no disease) of 89% in a population with mild cognitive impairment when the test cut offs were set at 91% sensitivity and 91% specificity. The addition of ApoE, a genetic risk marker, further improved the predictive values. The percentage of patients with likelihood of indeterminate risk was 15%, which decreased to 10% when ApoE test results were included. Importantly, the population was heterogenous and had a low prevalence of beta amyloid PET positivity (39.1% for all patients and 46% for those with MCI or AD), suggesting the test&#8217;s reliability in a real-world population that includes individuals who do not have AD.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also categorized 4,326 &#8220;real-world specimens&#8221; tested by Quest for AB 42\/40, p-tau217 and ApoE4 values.\u00a0The model and cut points categorized these specimens as having 42% high likelihood, 51% low likelihood, and 7% indeterminant likelihood for PET positivity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the population ages and new therapies emerge, our new AD-Detect test will help fill the need for scalable, high-volume solutions that broaden access to robust and affordable evaluation of AD,&#8221; said study co-author <span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Racke<\/span>, MD, a board-certified neurologist and Medical Director of Neurology at Quest Diagnostics. &#8220;Our new test fulfills acceptable performance criteria set forth by the CEOi. We believe it will give providers greater confidence to move patients with a high likelihood score for AD more quickly on the path to treatment and potentially prevent the use of PET and lumbar puncture in patients whose blood values strongly indicate they do not have AD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While amyloid PET imaging and cerebral spinal fluid testing are established methods for aiding the diagnosis of AD, they are significantly more expensive, invasive and specialist-dependent than blood-based tests.<\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s strengths included significant ethnic diversity in the population (over 50% Hispanic) while limitations included using a predictive model that did not evaluate performance of the biomarkers in the context of non-AD causes of dementia.
