Huntington’s Disease: a Blood Test “Speedometer”? (BBC News / Lancet Neurology)

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Dementia and Elderly Care News

Summary Early research shows promise that a protein biomarker in the blood, called neurofilament light chain (NFL), which is released from damaged brain cells in Huntington’s Disease, may be the basis for a blood test able to predict whether people … Continue reading →
