Blood test may help predict whose multiple sclerosis will get worse

A new blood test can help predict which patients with multiple sclerosis will see a decline in their condition over 12 months. The test looks for a biomarker called neurofilament light chain, a protein that can be detected as nerve cells die. People with higher levels of the protein were 40-70% more likely to experience worsening symptoms over a year than those with lower levels.

Predicting autism risk may begin with a drop of blood

Study will analyze dried blood spots from newborns for over 1,000 different chemicals and molecules. The presence of some of the molecules may predict autism risk years before symptoms appear, allowing for early treatment and possible prevention.

Blood test 94% accurate at identifying Alzheimer’s before symptoms appear

A new blood test for Alzheimer's disease is up-to 94% accurate at predicting dementia before symptoms appear. The test's accuracy is increased when genetic predisposition and age are taken into account. The new test may eventually replace PET neuroimaging, currently considered the gold standard, for early detection of Alzheimer's.
