Brain connectome subtypes predict Alzheimer's progression independent of pathology burden

Radiology AI literature (PubMed)6d ago

In mild cognitive impairment, brain connectome subtyping revealed a 'compromised' subgroup with extensive disruption and a 'preserved' subgroup. Despite similar Alzheimer's pathology burden, the compromised group showed faster cognitive decline and elevated progression risk (exa…

  • Multi-center cohort study (sample size not reported) identified two MCI subtypes based on structural and functional connectome disruption.
  • Transcriptomic analyses linked these connectome patterns to mitochondrial, synaptic, and neuroimmune processes.
  • Limitation: No external validation reported; sample size and generalizability unclear.
