Molecular Biomarkers in the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the spinal cord and brain. Detection of the disease at its initial stages is a difficult task as the causes and mechanisms of the manifestations of the disease remain unclear. Diagnosis of MS is a complex process. Studies of the molecular mechanisms of the disease and the search for biomarkers are among the key directions in the diagnosis of the disease. This review addresses potential biomarkers for multiple sclerosis detected in the cerebrospinal fluid.
