AT(N) Classification Framework
The [AT(N) biomarker classification system](/biomarkers/atn-biomarker-classification-ad) categorizes biomarkers by the pathological process they measure: [@jack2018]
- (A) Amyloid: Aβ42/40 ratio, amyloid PET
- (T) Tau: p-Tau181, p-Tau217, p-Tau231, tau PET
- (N) Neurodegeneration: NfL, total tau, volumetric MRI, FDG-PET
This framework enables biochemically grounded disease staging and is now standard in AD research and clinical trials. [@cummings2024]

Emerging Biomarkers — High Potential
These biomarkers have emerging evidence but are not yet fully validated for clinical use:
Blood-Based Biomarkers (2024-2025 Breakthroughs)
- Plasma p-Tau217: Now approaching CSF accuracy with Simoa/ALZpath assays [@hansson2020]
- Plasma p-Tau231: Detects earlier amyloid change than p-Tau181
- Plasma GFAP: Highly specific for astrocyte activation in AD
- Blood neurogranin: Synaptic dysfunction marker
Seed Amplification Assays
