The present disclosure provides methods and kits for evaluating Alzheimer's disease (AD) activity, including in patients undergoing treatment for AD or a candidate treatment for AD, as well as in animal and cell models. Specifically, the present disclosure provides biomarkers (sRNA predictors) that are binary predictors of disease activity, and are useful for detecting and/or evaluating AD disease stage, grade and progression, prognosis, and response to therapy or candidate therapy. The biomarkers are further useful in the context of drug discovery and clinical trials, to identify candidate pharmaceutical interventions (or other therapies) that are useful for the treatment of disease. |
