FNIH Biomarkers Consortium Study Shows “Clock Model” Blood Test Can Predict Onset of Alzheimer’s Symptoms Years in Advance

The “clock model” can use a single blood test to estimate the onset of symptoms within 3-4 years. A new web-based tool visualizes how Alzheimer’s biomarkers change over time and relate to symptoms.
