BDNF and tau as biomarkers of severity in multiple sclerosis

Neurodegenerative diseases have all been found to have a multifactor etiology. The more we study them, the harder it is to make an association between biomarkers and disease that works for every patient. A simple quantification of biomarkers gives no advantage to the daily clinician. Here, we have studied the biomarkers we thought would give us useful information about patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A biomarker is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of a normal biological process, pathogenic process, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention [1].
