Blood plasma proteomic biomarkers for forecasting transition to psychosis in an Asian cohort.
Blood proteins show promise in spotting young people about to develop psychosis, potentially allowing earlier intervention before full illness emerges.
This Translational Psychiatry study identifies blood-based proteomic biomarkers that predict transition to psychosis in an at-risk Asian cohort. The findings could enable earlier identification of individuals who will develop psychotic disorders, allowing preventive intervention.
