Abstract Details

Elevated Arteriolar Cerebral Blood Volume in Prodromal Huntington's Disease Patients Measured with Ultra-High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Movement Disorders
S20 - (-)
005
Vascular abnormalities have been identified in many neurodegenerative disorders. Recent studies suggest that neurovascular and metabolic impairment may be involved in the pathophysiology of HD, and may be early features of the disease. As the driving source to supply and regulate tissue perfusion, arterial vessels are most responsive to changes in metabolism. Therefore, CBVa may be employed as an important indicator of cerebrovascular regulation and brain function.
CBVa in cortical grey matter was measured with the recently developed iVASO MRI technique in 7 prodromal HD patients and 9 age-matched controls on a 7T MRI scanner. Anatomical images were acquired with MPRAGE scans for regional brain volume measurement.
Cortical grey matter CBVa was significantly elevated in prodromal HD patients compared to age-matched controls, with a relative change of 38.5% and effect size of 1.48. This effect was the most significant (P=0.008) in the frontal cortex, with a relative change of 48.9% and effect size of 2.11. Furthermore, significant correlations were found between grey matter CBVa in the frontal cortex and genetic measures for disease status including the CAG-Age product (CAP) score and estimated years to onset of motor symptoms. By contrast, volumes of brain regions in these prodromal HD patients did not differ significantly from the controls, and did not correlate with cortical grey matter CBVa values.
These results implicate the potential value of CBVa as a quantitative biomarker prior to prominent brain atrophy in the prodromal period of HD.
