NF-L was associated with worse attention Z-scores over 24-month follow-up in children with cerebral malaria who were ≥5 years during severe malaria episodes and testing [β −1.08 (95% CI −2.05, −1.05), P = 0.03; Fig. 3C; Supplementary Table 2]. The gene discussed is NEFL; the disease is cerebral malaria.
