A recent study by researchers from UCSF and CZ Biohub has identified a blood biomarker that can predict the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS) five years before symptoms appear. This breakthrough could lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment for MS patients. The biomarker, specific autoantibodies in the blood, was found in approximately 10% of MS patients and could potentially hasten treatments for the disease.
Blood Biomarker Reveals Signs of Multiple Sclerosis Years Before @UCSF scientists have discovered a precursor in the blood of some people who later went on to develop multiple sclerosis (MS). These findings could hasten treatments. Learn more: https://t.co/Jw0RkMwB16
