Scientists develop a simple, noninvasive diagnostic solution for Alzheimer s disease An international research team led by HKUST has developed a simple but robust blood test from Chinese patient data for early detection and screening of Alzheimer s disease (AD) for the first time, with an accuracy level of over 96%. Currently, doctors mainly rely on cognitive tests to diagnose a person with AD. Besides clinical assessment, brain imaging and lumbar puncture are the two most commonly used medical procedures to detect changes in the brain caused by AD. However, these methods are expensive, invasive, and frequently unavailable in many countries. Now, a team led by Prof. Nancy IP, Vice-President for Research and Development at HKUST, has identified 19 out of the 429 plasma proteins associated with AD to form a biomarker panel representative of an AD signature in the blood. Based on this panel, the team has developed a scoring system that distinguishes AD patients from healthy people
