AbstractIntroductionThe cerebrospinal fluid neurogranin (Ng)/β‐site amyloid precursor protein‐cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) ratio may reflect synaptic affection resulting from reduced beta‐amyloid (Aβ) clearance. We hypothesize that increased Ng/BACE1 ratio predicts the earliest cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.MethodsWe compared Ng/BACE1 levels between cases with subjective cognitive decline (n = 18) and mild cognitive impairment (n = 20) both with amyloid plaques and healthy controls (APOE‐ε4+, n = 16; APOE‐ε4‐, n = 20). We performed regression analyses between cerebrospinal fluid levels, baseline hippocampal and amygdala volumes, and pertinent cognitive measures (memory, attention, Mini Mental State Examination [MMSE]) at baseline and after 2 years.ResultsNg/BACE1 levels were elevated in both subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment compared to healthy controls. Higher Ng/BACE1 ratio was associated with lower hippocampal and amygdala volumes; lower baseline memory functions, attention, and MMSE; and significant decline in MMSE and memory function at 2‐year follow‐up.DiscussionHigh Ng/BACE1 ratio predicts cognitive decline also in preclinical cases with amyloid plaques.
