Having a parent affected with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a major risk factor for developing the disease among cognitively normal (NL) individuals. This MRI study examines whether NL with a LOAD-affected parent show preclinical brain atrophy, and whether there are parent-of-origin effects. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) on SPM’8 was used to examine volumetric T1-MRI scans of 60 late-middle-aged NL subjects, divided into 3 size-matched, demographically balanced groups of 20 subjects each, including NL with a maternal (FHm), paternal (FHp), or negative family history (FH-) of LOAD. There were no group differences for clinical and neuropsychological measures, and ApoE status. On VBM, FHm showed reduced gray matter volumes (GMV) in frontal, parietal, temporal cortices and precuneus as compared to FH-, and in precuneus compared to FHp (P<0.05, FWE-corrected). Results remained significant controlling for age, gender, education, ApoE and total intracranial volume. No differences were observed between FHp and FH- in any regions. NL FHm showed reduced GMV in AD-affected brain regions compared to FH- and FHp, indicating higher risk for AD. Our findings support the use of regional brain atrophy as a preclinical biomarker for LOAD among at risk individuals.
