Frontotemporal dementia is the leading cause of “true” A?/T+ profiles defined with Aβ42/40 ratioDOI: 10.1016/j.dadm.2019.01.001 Keywords: Alzheimer's disease, Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, Aβ42/40 ratio, Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, Frontotemporal dementia, Suspected non Alzheimer's disease pathology (SNAP) Abstract: Patients with positive tauopathy but negative Aβ42 (A?T+) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) represent a diagnostic challenge. The Aβ42/40 ratio supersedes Aβ42 and reintegrates “false” A?T+ patients into the Alzheimer's disease spectrum. However, the biomarker and clinical characteristics of “true” and “false” A?T+ patients remain elusive
