Alzheimer's disease has distinct biological subtypes
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 55/100
Multiple multi-omic and proteomic studies support the existence of distinct biological subtypes in Alzheimer's disease, though some fluid biomarker research suggests continuous variation.
