   Proposal Description:
   We are interested in better understanding the cognitive and clinical features     that are found in the earliest stages of AD and how these features change         cross-sectionally between the pre-symptomatic phase and the symptomatic phase.    Aim 1, to assess the role of clinical, genetic and/or gender variables in         predicting CDR score in the pre-clinical phase of AD                              Aim 2 to assess the role of clinical, genetic and/or gender variables in          predicting the CDR score in the MCI phase of AD.                                  Aim 3, to assess the role of clinical, genetic and/or gender variables in         predicting neuropsychological outcome measures in pre-clinical AD                 Aim 4, to assess the role of clinical, genetic and/or gender variables in         predicting neuropsychological outcome measures in the MCI phase of AD.
