Natural History of Amyloid Deposition in adults with Down Syndrome

Adults with Down syndrome (DS) are at an extremely high risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), with most individuals over age 40 evidencing amyloid deposits (which are thought to be associated with the appearance of symptoms). The goal of the current proposal is to document amyloid deposition in 84 asymptomatic adults with DS and to follow these individuals to understand the course of amyloid deposition and its effect on functioning over time. This data is not only necessary to deepen our understanding of the pathophysiology of AD in DS but may also offer information that will prove useful in the prevention and treatment of AD in the general population.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
