Brain Disease in Football
A study has found that levels of a blood marker linked to the tau protein may one day help detect chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition associated with repeated head impacts in football players and others. Levels were higher in people with advanced disease, but the test did not reliably identify early cases. The blood tests were based on samples from just 11 people who had previously been diagnosed with the condition. Experts described the finding as preliminary and said larger studies are needed, since the diagnosis can currently be confirmed only by examining the brain after death.
