Previous studies pointed that NFL is an ideal marker of large-caliber axonal degeneration, and increased NfL levels incerebrospinal fluid(CSF) are like to reflect neurodegeneration-related axonal injury29, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis30,31. Here, NEFL is linked to multiple sclerosis.
