MS_pT181 and MS_pT217 plotted against their corresponding unmodified counterparts. CSF concentration of MS_pT181 (a) and MS_pT217 (b) were plotted on their corresponding unmodified counterparts in the Montpellier cohort. Linear regression was computed in the AD and NAD populations (rho Spearman’s correlation coefficient and P value are indicated). Note that for MS_pT217, AD and NAD regression lines have slopes that are significantly different (slope ANCOVA comparison P < 0.001). The sample from the patient with brain metastasis (arrow) is clearly an outliner with low concentration of phosphorylated peptides and high concentration of non-phosphorylated peptides
