Finally, multivariate analysis helped us in defining the most convenient combination of protein biomarkers that could be potentially used in clinics (i) to support diagnosis (CLIC1, actinNT and ROA2), (ii) to contribute to differential diagnosis of ALS from other neurological conditions (CypA and IRAK4), and (iii) to determine disease severity (ERp57). The gene discussed is CLIC1; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
