BACKGROUND: Patients with logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) display neuropathological differences from typical amnestic Alzheimer's disease (AD). OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker levels between patients with lvPPA due to AD (lvPPA-AD), non-logopenic forms of AD (nlAD), and amnestic mild cognitive impairment due to AD (aMCI-AD). METHODS: CSF biomarker concentrations were assessed in 124 patients divided into three groups matched for age, level of education, center, and disease duration: lvPPA-AD (n = 30), nlAD (n = 67)...
