Within disease-specific subgroups, GFAP, p-tau217, and Aβ42/40 ratio demonstrated associations with hippocampal atrophy or WMH progression in CSVD (|β| = 0.011 to 0.220, p = 0.046 to 0.010), whereas GFAP, NfL, p-tau217, and Aβ42/40 ratio were linked to hippocampal atrophy and/or WMH progression in typical AD (|β| = 0.013 to 0.191, p = 0.044 to 0.0002). This evidence concerns the gene GFAP and Alzheimer disease.
