Too small study to say definitively "Antibody May Be Detectable in Blood Years Before MS Symptoms Appear"

Too small study to say definitively "Antibody May Be Detectable in Blood Years Before MS Symptoms Appear" | Immunopathology & Immunotherapy | Scoop.it

Press release about a research to be presented in the American Academy of Neurology 66th Annual Meeting.


Better be cautious and patient with this information: in the study only 16 patients vs 16 healthy controls have been studied. A too small cohort to make a strong conclusion.

Alfredo Corell's insight:

PHILADELPHIA – An antibody found in the blood of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be present long before the onset of the disease and its symptoms, according to a study released today that will be presented at theAmerican Academy of Neurology’s 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 26 to May 3, 2014.
