In contrast, CSF neurofilament light chain levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis overlapped with those in myelopathies (2900.11 ± 872.20 pg/mL; P = 0.821) and other mimic diseases (3169.75 ± 1096.65 pg/mL; P = 0.63), but not with inflammatory polyneuropathies (1156.4 ± 356.6 pg/mL; P = 0.000). This evidence concerns the gene NEFL and polyneuropathy.
