C6 and Alzheimer disease: Herein, we systematically investigated the relationships of CSF complement proteins (C1q, C2, C5, C6, complement component C8 beta chain [C8B], and complement factor B [CFB]) with cognition, AD pathology, and brain structure from the AD Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort, and further explored the potential mechanisms underlying the associations between CSF complement proteins and cognition.
