Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri, US, have developed a blood test that can detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease accurately.
The blood test showed 93% accuracy in identifying people at risk of Alzheimer’s dementia in a study conducted in approximately 500 patients from the US, Australia and Sweden.
It was developed by Charles F and Joanne Knight distinguished professor of neurology Randall Bateman and a team at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.
