Abstract
A method for diagnosing disorders in a subject organism, in which fluid samples from normal and abnormal organisms are analyzed to generate electrical signal patterns representative of molecular constituents of the samples. A data base of electrical signal patterns representative of frequency distribution of sample constituents from the abnormal organisms having known categories of disorders and control samples from normal organisms are created, and a fluid sample taken from the subject organism is analyzed by comparing it to the data base for conformity to the electrical signal patterns representative of the frequency distribution. The invention has particular applicability to assisting in the diagnosis of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, schizophrenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Progressive Supernuclear Palsy.
