Suspected non-Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology (SNAP) is a biomarker-based concept that underlying etiology has not been completely understood. Refers to a group of individuals that are negative for amyloid biomarkers and positive for p-Tau and/or neurodegeneration. SNAP causes great research interest because it is not clear if they have a different biological basis from Alzheimer's disease (AD), or are in an early stage of AD itself. The pathological processes behind SNAP need to be clarified. This mini-review aims to summarize the main characteristics of SNAP, besides reporting challenges and promising biomarkers related to the concept.
疑似非阿尔茨海默病病理生理学(SNAP)是一个基于生物标志物的概念,其潜在病因尚未完全明确。指的是一组淀粉样蛋白生物标志物呈阴性、p- tau和/或神经退行性变呈阳性的个体。SNAP引起了极大的研究兴趣,因为尚不清楚它们是否具有与阿尔茨海默病(AD)不同的生物学基础,或者是否处于AD本身的早期阶段。SNAP背后的病理过程需要阐明。本综述旨在总结SNAP的主要特征,同时报告与该概念相关的挑战和有前景的生物标志物。
