Plasma p-tau217 Clocks Estimate Timing of Alzheimer Symptom Onset
Analysis Neurology / Neuropharmacology Hypothesis-generating Grade: Moderate

This work demonstrates that a single blood-based %p-tau217 measurement can estimate not only whether but approximately when a cognitively unimpaired person will develop symptomatic Alzheimer disease, with implications for how pharmacists interpret emerging blood biomarker tests and screen for anti-amyloid therapy candidates.

Plasma p-tau217 Discriminates Early-Onset Alzheimer's in Real-World Clinic
Analysis Neurology / Neuropharmacology Confirmatory Grade: Low

This real-world diagnostic study extends plasma p-tau217 validation to early-onset Alzheimer's disease and flags severe renal impairment as a false-positive risk relevant to biomarker interpretation.
