Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test measuring a protein called p-Tau217 can accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Currently, diagnosis requires a spinal tap to test spinal fluid, which is invasive and uncomfortable. Researchers will compare the blood test results with the standard spinal fluid tests in 40 adults suspected of having Alzheimer's. If successful, this could lead to a simpler, less painful way to diagnose the disease.
