Summary
The search for diagnostic biomarkers that can be used routinely is a major challenge to manage Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in order to characterize the pathophysiology and accelerate the management of the disease. Some non-specific biomarkers have been proposed (Neurofilaments, TDP-43) but their diagnostic value remains controversial. This study aims to identify ALS-specific platelet biomarkers using targeted and untargeted multi-omic approaches, in order to enable differential diagnosis between ALS and other motor neuron diseases.
