The PROLIPHYC study is a prospective study that aims at analysing CSF proteome with our new strategy in a cohort of patients suspected of normal pressure hydrocephalus and/or related neurodegenerative diseases. The PROLIPHYC project combines detailed clinical and neuropsychological evaluation, gait analysis, MRI brain imaging, lumbar CSF dynamics and deep proteome. We hypothesize in the PROLIPHYC study that a specific cluster of polypeptides can be associated with Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia and normal pressure hydrocephalus profiles. Validating this hypothesis might be a significant step towards a proteomic lexicon of aging brain, neurodegenerative diseases and dementia.
