| Gene Symbol | alzheimers |
| Aliases | alzheimers |
| Requires only capillary blood | no venipuncture needed |
| Does not require centrifugation | whole blood is spotted directly |
| Enables room temperature storage | no cold chain required |
| Facilitates self-collection | patients can collect at home |
| Reduces costs | simpler logistics than plasma/serum |
| DPS | Blood is collected in EDTA tubes, centrifuged to separate plasma, then plasma is spotted onto cards |
| DBS | Whole blood is directly spotted onto cards — simpler but slightly less precise |
