Popis: Background: Creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) is a rare X-linked disorder of creatine transport caused by pathogenic variants in SLC6A8 (Xq28). The disorder is marked by developmental delay, especially speech delay. The biomarkers Aβ40, Aβ42 and total tau are abnormal in Alzheimer disease (AD), a common neurodegenerative disorder pathologically characterized by Aβ peptide containing amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Although CTD results in neuronal energy deficiency, the pathological processes underlying the CTD phenotype are not fully characterized. Methods: Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) was collected as an optional part of a natural history study of CTD. Aβ40, Aβ42 and total tau levels were quantified in CSF from individuals with CTD and from age-appropriate comparison samples. Neuro3-Plex enzyme-linked immunoassay was performed on a Quanterix SR-X instrument. The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, 3rd Edition was used to determine an overall Adaptive Behavior Composite (ABC) standard score. Results: CSF from 12 individuals with CTD and 23 age appropriate non-CTD comparison samples were analyzed. We found that levels of total tau [t(32) = 4.05, p = 0.0003], Aβ40 [t(31) = 6.11, p
