摘要

Methods are provided for the prediction, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. More particularly, a method is provided to determine whether a subject that does not show any clinical signs of Alzheimer's disease has a likelihood to develop Alzheimer's disease. Further a method is provided for the differential diagnosis of subjects suffering from Alzheimer's disease versus subjects suffering from dementia with Lewy bodies. The methods are based on the determination of the ratio of specific A beta peptides.
