New blood test predicts multiple sclerosis risk years before symptoms appear

A research team at the Medical University of Vienna has developed a blood test that allows the identification of individuals at risk for developing multiple sclerosis (MS) with a high degree of certainty years before the onset of symptoms. As a result, in the future, diagnostic and therapeutic measures could be taken early enough to delay or even prevent the onset of the disease. The research has just been published in Nature Communications.
