New test can differentiate between Alz and other causes of dementia with 99% accuracy, inventor claims:
I hope this actually works. I think that one of the problems with Alz research is that often people who have OTHER dementia are treated with experimental drugs, which then work only on a subset of clinical trial participants -- that subset being either people with Alz, or maybe people with some other syndrome that looks like Alz.

their assay was able to discriminate Alzheimer’s disease from other types of dementia, with a sensitivity and specificity rate of 99% compared to the neuropathological diagnosis based on autopsy and the clinical diagnosis that's made based on symptoms that can't be explained by any other illness.
