This study explored the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in dominantly inherited Alzheimer’s disease (DIAD) by examining changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of UPS proteins along with disease progression, AD imaging biomarkers (PiB PET, tau PET), neurodegeneration imaging measures (MRI, FDG PET), and Clinical Dementia Rating® (CDR®). Here, HMBS is linked to Alzheimer disease.
