Blood proteins may be better than clinical information at determining a person’s risk of developing 67 diseases within the next 10 years, according to information collected through the UK Biobank.
The findings demonstrate how thousands of proteins measured in a single blood sample can predict the onset of diverse diseases.
These diseases covered a broad range of pathology types and included multiple myeloma, motor neuron disease, pulmonary fibrosis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and dilated cardiomyopathy.
The findings are published in the journal Nature Medicine.
