A new study has identified a blood-based biomarker panel that can detect #ALS up to a decade before symptoms appear.

Using machine learning and protein profiling, researchers found 33 proteins that distinguish ALS from other conditions.

Protein signature could predict ALS a decade early
A new study has identified a blood-based protein signature that may predict ALS up to ten years before symptoms appear.
