Neurogranin as a cognitive biomarker in cerebrospinal fluid and blood exosomes for Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with clinical, biological, and pathological features occurring along a continuum from normal to end-stage disease. Currently, the diagnosis of AD depends on clinical assessments and post-mortem neuropathology, which is unbenefited early diagnosis and progressive monitoring. In recent years, clinical studies have reported that the level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood neurogranin (Ng) are closely related to the occurrence and subsequent progression of AD. Therefore, the study used meta-analysis to identify the CSF and blood Ng levels for the development of diagnosis biomarker of patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We searched the Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. A total of 24 articles eligible for inclusion and exclusion criteria were assessed, including 4661 individuals, consisting of 1518 AD patients, 1501 MCI patients, and 1642 healthy control subjects. The level of CSF Ng significantly increased in patients with AD and MCI compared with healthy control subjects (SMD: 0.84 [95% CI: 0.70-0.98], P?
