Blood Biomarker of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Details and patient eligibility
About
Currently, no cures or disease modifying therapies exist for Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is partially due to the inability to detect the disease before it has progressed to a stage where there are clinical manifestations. The identification and validation of high throughput biomarkers to measure disease progression (as well as identify pre-clinical disease onset) is critical to the development of disease-modifying or even preventative therapies. In this study, we are testing a blood biomarker for stratification of Alzheimer's disease patients and healthy volunteers. This study may lead to future blood tests that may help earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and detect the disease progression.
