| Project Name | Diagnostic autoantibody assay to stratify bone marrow failure diseases |
| Project Detail | Diagnostic test for bone marrow failure disease Bone marrow failure syndrome (BMFS) refers to a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterised by the loss of red and white blood cells as a result of blood stem-cell malfunction. The EU-funded STRATIFY project aims to develop a BMFS test using an inexpensive reagent kit and standard serology machines for autoantibody screening. Project researchers previously identified an autoantibody that defined a distinct group of BMFS patients with similar genetic backgrounds, suggesting common pathogenesis. The autoantibody analysis was able to reveal cases of aplastic anaemia and define a subset of BMFS patients with similar underlying pathology that lacks diagnosis as yet. Current objectives are establishing technology proof-of-concept and evaluating commercialisation options. |
