We have explored δ's blood-based protein biomarkers in the Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium (TARCC) study. However, it would be convenient to replicate those associations in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). To this end, we have engineered a δ homolog from observed cognitive performance measures common to both projects. Our findings were replicated in randomly selected 50% splits of TARCC data (Group 1, N = 1,747; Group 2, N = 1,755), and then independently in ADNI (N = 1,737). The new δ homolog, i.e., \"dT2A\" (d-TARCC to ADNI), fit the data of both studies well, and was strongly correlated with dementia severity, as rated by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale \"sum of boxes\" (TARCC: r = 0.99, p < 0.001; ADNI: r = 0.96, p < 0.001). dT2A achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.981 (0.976-0.985) for the discrimination of Alzheimer's disease from normal controls in TARCC, and 0.988 (0.983-0.993) in ADNI. dT2A is the 12th δ homolog published to date, and opens the door to independent replications across these and similar studies.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.1972245773362196,"endowment":2.1972245773362196,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"30507569","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2902622269","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"NIA NIH HHS","grant_id":"P30 AG044271","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":0.9048,"citation_percentile":0.74343364,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2019,"count":5},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"https://content.iospress.com/download?id=10.3233/JAD-171053","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.3233/jad-171053","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30507569","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research","Alzheimer's disease research and treatments","Health Systems, Economic Evaluations, Quality of Life","Aged","Alzheimer Disease","Area Under Curve","Biomarkers","Blood Proteins","Cognitive Dysfunction","Female","Humans","Intelligence Tests","Male","Neuroimaging","Neuropsychological Tests","Psychiatric Status Rating Scales","Psychomotor Performance","Texas"],"mesh_terms":["Aged","Alzheimer Disease","Blood Proteins","Female","Humans","Intelligence Tests","Male","Neuropsychological Tests","Psychiatric Status Rating Scales","Psychomotor Performance","Texas","Biomarkers","Area Under Curve","Neuroimaging","Cognitive Dysfunction"],"keywords":["Dementia","Neuroimaging","Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative","Clinical Dementia Rating","Disease","Alzheimer's disease","Replicate","Psychology","Replication (statistics)","Medicine","Neuroscience","Oncology","Internal medicine","Mathematics","Aging","Intelligence","Cognition","G","Tarcc","Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Reduced inequalities"},{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Peace, Justice and strong institutions"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-29T23:40:00.599513Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
