BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Source MDx today announced a partnership with Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston to examine RNA-based biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and healthy control participants unaffected by the disease. The goal of the study is to identify diagnostic markers and to determine markers of active disease (relapses) or stable disease, along with response markers for currently available MS therapies. The study will utilize Source MDx’s patented gene expression profiling for the identification and monitoring of MS.
