Neurofilament light chain as a biomarker for hereditary ATTR amyloidosis - correlation between neurofilament light chain and nerve conduction study.
Background: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a biomarker of neuronal injury in hereditary ATTR (ATTRv) amyloidosis. However, the correlation between NfL and nerve conduction study (NCS), the standard test for ATTRv neuropathy, has not been investigated.
Objective: Elucidate the correlation between NfL and NCS parameters.
Methods: 227 serum NfL measurements were performed in 45 ATTRv patients, 5 asymptomatic carriers, and 12 controls. Among them, 177 simultaneous analyses of NCS and NfL were conducted in 45 ATTRv patients.
Results: NfL levels of symptomatic patients were significantly higher than those of asymptomatic carriers and controls. Serum NfL levels were correlated with NCS parameters, especially compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes, indicators of axonal damage. CMAP and/or SNAP amplitudes were undetectable in 9 patients (no-amplitude group) due to advanced neuropathy. NfL levels in the no-amplitude group were significantly higher than those in patients with detectable CMAP/SNAP. NfL levels significantly decreased with patisiran, although no significant changes were observed in CMAP and SNAP.
Conclusions: NfL levels are found to be correlated with CMAP/SNAP amplitudes. Compared with NCS, NfL can be a more sensitive biomarker for detecting treatment response and active nerve damage even in patients with advanced neuropathy.
期刊介绍：
Amyloid: the Journal of Protein Folding Disorders is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the protein groups and associated disorders that are classified as the amyloidoses as well as other disorders associated with abnormal protein folding. The journals major focus points are:
etiology,
pathogenesis,
histopathology,
chemical structure,
nature of fibrillogenesis;
whilst also publishing papers on the basic and chemical genetic aspects of many of these disorders.
Amyloid is recognised as one of the leading publications on amyloid protein classifications and the associated disorders, as well as clinical studies on all aspects of amyloid related neurodegenerative diseases and major clinical studies on inherited amyloidosis, especially those related to transthyretin. The Journal also publishes book reviews, meeting reports, editorials, thesis abstracts, review articles and symposia in the various areas listed above.
