A recent CBS News article noted an important milestone in the fight against Alzheimer’s: the first blood test to diagnose it has hit the market. The test was developed by C2N Diagnostics in St. Louis, and the founders are doctors from Washington University School of Medicine. It costs $1,250 and produces results in about 10 days, but the company offers discounts based on income. While the test aims to provide patients with easier diagnoses, the facts that key test results have yet to be published, and the test isn’t FDA approved raise accuracy concerns.
