"A successful test for Alzheimer's could transform medical research and treatment drugs could be tested at a much earlier stage in the disease.

Prof Federoff said slowing the pace of the disease could have a huge impact: "Even a short delay of symptoms will have a tremendous economic benefit just in terms of the cost of care."

Dr Simon Ridley, from the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said the findings were "encouraging" and that a blood test would be a "real step forward".
he added: "To test the effectiveness of potential new drugs, it's important to be able to recruit people to clinical trials in the early stages of the disease, when such treatments are most likely to be effective.

"If confirmed, these results could also aid efforts to develop better tools for diagnosing Alzheimer's - allowing people with the disease to access crucial support and existing treatments sooner."
