That would be very cool!

Seems kinda' crazy that the industry could so quickly develop a blood test for a disease that occurs as a result of a 'potential multi-billion dollar drug market', but they still haven't come up with a blood test for MS in almost 200 yrs.

But it's still great news.

No kidding Cherie! We have blood tests for other autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s Syndrome and schleroderma. Maybe some day they will figure out how to do this for MS.
