Disentangling Heterogeneity in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Using Data-Driven Methods
Open accessAbstract
Brain aging is a complex process that includes atrophy, vascular injury, and a variety of age-associated neurodegenerative pathologies, together determining an individual's course of cognitive decline. While Alzheimer's disease and related dementias contribute to the heterogeneity of brain aging, these conditions themselves are also heterogeneous in their clinical presentation, progression, and pattern of neural injury. We reviewed studies that leveraged data-driven approaches to examining heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, with a principal focus on neuroimaging studies exploring subtypes of regional neurodegeneration patterns. Over the past decade, the steadily increasing wealth of clinical, neuroimaging, and molecular biomarker information collected within large-scale observational cohort studies has allowed for a richer understanding of the variability of disease expression within the aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias continuum. Moreover, the availability of these large-scale datasets has supported the development and increasing application of clustering techniques for studying disease heterogeneity in a data-driven manner. In particular, data-driven studies have led to new discoveries of previously unappreciated disease subtypes characterized by distinct neuroimaging patterns of regional neurodegeneration, which are paralleled by heterogeneous profiles of pathological, clinical, and molecular biomarker characteristics. Incorporating these findings into novel frameworks for more differentiated disease stratification holds great promise for improving individualized diagnosis and prognosis of expected clinical progression, and provides opportunities for development of precision medicine approaches for therapeutic intervention. We conclude with an account of the principal challenges associated with data-driven heterogeneity analyses and outline avenues for future developments in the field.

Differential diagnosis of dementia remains a challenge in neurology due to symptom overlap across etiologies.
“Differential diagnosis of dementia remains a challenge in neurology due to symptom overlap across etiologies”
From AI-based differential diagnosis of dementia etiologies on multimodal data (2024) · cites this paper as [5]
The Alzheimer’s disease dementia section describes atypical clinical presentations, and the Mild cognitive impairment section says similar clinical impairment can precede different dementia types. These passages support diagnostic complexity, but they do not specifically say that differential diagnosis of dementia is difficult because symptoms overlap across etiologies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
