Diagnostic utility of neurofilament markers for MND is limited in restricted disease phenotype and for differentiation from compressive myeloradiculopathies.

Abstract excerpt

Misdiagnosis is frequent in early motor neuron disease (MND), typically compressive radiculopathy, or in patients with restricted MND phenotype. In this retrospective, single tertiary centre study, we measured levels of neurofilament light (NfL) and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy (p-NfH) chain in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and of p-NfH in serum with commercially available ELISA kits and assessed their...
