To investigate the relation of plasma levels of Aβ peptides (Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42) and Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype to dementia status and duration of Alzheimer’s disease in adults with Down syndrome (DS). Adults with DS were recruited from community settings and followed up for a mean period of 6.7 years. Plasma levels Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 and APOE genotype were determined at the last visit. There were 83 nondemented participants and 44 participants with prevalent AD. Overall, plasma levels of Aβ1-42, Aβ1-40 and the ratio Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 did not differ significantly between the adults with DS. Among demented participants the mean level of Aβ1-40 was significantly lower (157.0 vs. 195.3) and the ratio of Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 was significantly higher (0.28 vs. 0.16) in those with more than 4 years duration of dementia than in those with 4 or fewer years duration of dementia. This pattern was generally similar in those with and without an APOE ε4 allele. There is an association between plasma Aβ peptide levels and duration of AD in older persons with DS. The predictive and diagnostic roles of Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 measurements for AD, however, remain controversial. Change in Aβ peptide levels with onset of AD and with duration of dementia may account for lack of difference between prevalent cases and nondemented individuals and for variation in the predictive power of Aβ peptide levels.e
