Generalizability of tau and amyloid plasma biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease cohorts of diverse genetic ancestries.

Plasma phosphorylated threonine 181 of tau (pTau181) and amyloid beta (Aβ) are biomarkers for differential diagnosis and preclinical detection of Alzheimer disease (AD). Given differences in AD risk across diverse populations, the generalizability of existing biomarker data is not assured.
