\n An experimental blood test was highly accurate in detecting Alzheimer\u2019s disease, scientists reported Tuesday \u2014 a promising breakthrough that could make diagnosis simple, affordable and widely available.<\/p>\n

The test was able to determine whether people with dementia had Alzheimer\u2019s instead of another condition, the New York Times reported. It also identified signs of Alzheimer\u2019s 20 years before memory and thinking problems were expected in people with a genetic mutation that causes the degenerative, deadly disease, the outlet said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis blood test very, very accurately predicts who\u2019s got Alzheimer\u2019s disease in their brain, including people who seem to be normal,\u201d Dr. Michael Weiner, an Alzheimer\u2019s disease researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, told The Times.<\/p>\n

The research was published in JAMA Network Open and presented at the Alzheimer\u2019s Association International Conference.<\/p>\n

The blood test \u2014 which performed as accurately as more invasive methods such as MRI brain scans, PET scans and spinal taps \u2014 provides a much simpler and more affordable way to diagnose whether people with cognitive problems were experiencing Alzheimer\u2019s, as opposed to another type of dementia.<\/p>\n

Such a blood test also may eventually be used to predict whether someone without symptoms would develop the disease, according to The Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a cure, it\u2019s not a treatment, but you can\u2019t treat the disease without being able to diagnose it. And accurate, low-cost diagnosis is really exciting, so it\u2019s a breakthrough,\u201d said Weiner, who was not involved in the study.<\/p>\n

The test could be available for clinical use in as little as two to three years, experts said.<\/p>\n

Almost six million people in the US and about 30 million around the world have Alzheimer\u2019s. The numbers are expected to more than double by 2050 as the population ages, according to the report.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
