Zusammenfassung: | Genetic evidence implicates a causal role for the complement pathway in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since studies have shown inconsistent differences in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood complement protein concentrations between AD patients and healthy elderly, this study sought to summarize the clinical data. Original peer-reviewed articles measuring CSF and/or blood concentrations of complement or complement regulator protein concentrations in AD and healthy elderly control (HC) groups were included. Of 2966 records identified, means and standard deviations from 86 studies were summarized as standardized mean differences (SMD) by random effects meta-analyses. In CSF, concentrations of clusterin (
