CA 2718955

The invention relates to methods and kits for the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) versus frontotemporal dementia (FTD), using biomarkers TNF-.alpha., FAS-L and CK18, taken from a biological sample. Differences in biomarker levels can be used to distinguish between AD and FTD The invention is based on a discovered correlation between FTD and markers FAS-L and CK18. Therefore the invention also relates to the diagnosis of FTD using FAS-L and CK18. The serum concentrations of these biomarkers can further be used as an index of the severity of disease, and may occur in conjunction with clinical-based diagnostic testing and neuro-imaging assessment.

Cette invention concerne des méthodes et des kits pour le diagnostic différentiel de la maladie d'Alzheimer comparée à la démence frontotemporale (FTD) au moyen de biomarqueurs TNF-a, FAS-L and CK18 prélevés dans un échantillon biologique. Les différences des taux des biomarqueurs peuvent servir à distinguer la maladie d'Alzheimer et la démence frontotemporale (FTD). L'invention se fonde sur une corrélation découverte entre la démence frontotemporale (FTD) et des marqueurs FAS-L et CK18. De ce fait, cette invention concerne le diagnostic de la démence frontotemporale (FTD) au moyen des marqueurs FAS-L et CK18. Les concentrations sériques de ces biomarqueurs peuvent aussi servir d'indice de mesure de la gravité de la maladie, et peuvent être utilisées conjointement avec des analyses diagnostiques cliniques et des examens d'imagerie neurologique.
