The main objective of this collaborative project is to assess the microRNA-based assay performance for the detection of mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease (AD), pre-symptomatic AD (cognitively normal, amyloid-positive) and control (cognitively normal, amyloid-negative) using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma samples collected at the Center for Brain Health, New York University School of Medicine, and processed with an optimized protocol and microRNA signatures.
