NOVEL METHOD OF PROGNOSING CHRONIC NEURODEGENERATIVE PATHOLOGY FOLLOWING A HEAD INJURY

摘要

A method of prognosing in a head-injured subject or a subject who may be at risk of sustaining a head injury for the likelihood that a head injury might give rise to a chronic neurodegenerative pathology which could result in neuropsychological, psychiatric or neurological deficits, the method comprising detecting the presence or absence of ApoE isoforms or of DNA encoding ApoE isoforms in the subject.
