Study Description:

Samples in the ADCS Biospecimen Repository at UCSD are collected from AD subjects who participate in ADCS supported trials.  On a case by case basis, we also bank samples from pharmaceutical companies who have run AD trials.  The majority of our samples are from MCI and mild-moderate AD patients, but our future trials will also include participants in preclinical phases of progression.  We presently do not have any non-demented control subjects.  In addition to AD samples, we also have Down Syndrome samples.

Material Available:

We predominantly have plasma, but also have an expanding bank of CSF, DNA, blood, whole blood and urine.
