Although NFL in CSF and blood can differentiate between PD and APD, they cannot be used as a tool to differentiate between APD with synuclein depositions (MSA), and APD related to the depositions of pathologically changed protein tau (tauopathies) as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). Here, MAPT is linked to progressive supranuclear palsy.
