Having said that, a combination of CSF measures appear to emerge, which may well be able to differentiate DLB from other dementias: α-synuclein reduction in early DLB, a correlation between CSF α-synuclein and Aβ42 measures (characteristic for DLB only), and t-tau and p-tau181 profile (differentiating AD from DLB). Here, SNCA is linked to Lewy body dementia.
