DIAGNOSIS OF NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA VS. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS USING MIRNA BIOMARKERS

摘要

The invention relates to a method of diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica, in particular of differential diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) vs. multiple sclerosis (MS) using miRNA biomarkers. These miRNAs could potentially serve as future diagnostic biomarkers for NMO and help in diagnosis, monitoring disease activity, and evaluation of treatment responses in patients with MS.
