Overall geometric mean levels in CSF (1,142 pg/ml, 906-1,439) were 96.8-fold higher than in serum (11.8 pg/ml, 8.5-16.5, p<0.0001; fold-increase in CSF versus serum: CP: 73.6, AD: 45.3, GBS: 17.1, ALS: 57.8, p<0.0001, respectively). The gene discussed is CP; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
