N2 - The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) initially was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in 2008 and thus was able to adopt and incorporate the protocols developed by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) that had been established by the NIA in 2004. The use of ADNI protocols for DIAN neuroimaging studies and assays of biological fluids for Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarkers permitted examination of the hypothesis that autosomal dominant AD (ADAD), studied by DIAN, and “sporadic” late-onset AD (LOAD), studied by ADNI, shared the same pathobiological construct. In a collaborative effort, the longitudinal DIAN and ADNI databases were compared and the findings supported the conclusion that ADAD and LOAD share a similar pathophysiology. The importance of the DIAN study thus is amplified by its relevance to LOAD, as characterized by the “parent” ADNI program.
