Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network: facilitating research and clinical trials
Open accessAbstract
The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) is an international registry of individuals at risk for developing autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its primary aims are to investigate the temporal ordering of AD pathophysiological changes that occur in asymptomatic mutation carriers and to identify those markers that herald the transition from cognitive normality to symptomatic AD. DIAN participants undergo longitudinal evaluations, including clinical and cognitive assessments and measurements of molecular and imaging AD biomarkers. This review details the unique attributes of DIAN as a model AD biomarker study and how it provides the infrastructure for innovative research projects, including clinical trials. The recent design and launch of the first anti-amyloid-beta secondary prevention trial in AD, led by the related DIAN Trials Unit, also are discussed.

The DIAN cohort consists of people from families with highly penetrant autosomal-dominant mutations in APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2.
“DIAN participants are members of families carrying highly penetrant autosomal-dominant mutations in the genes encoding the amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) or presenilin 1 (PSEN1) or 2 (PSEN2)19.”

Autosomal dominant AD is well suited to study biomarker trajectories due to the virtually complete penetrance of the mutations and consistency of symptom onset within families.
“Autosomal dominant AD (ADAD) is well suited to study biomarker trajectories due to the virtually complete penetrance of the mutations and consistency of symptom onset within families4,5.”

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.
