Longitudinal measurement of serum neurofilament light in presymptomatic familial Alzheimer's disease.

There is evidence that serum NfL is increased more than a decade before the onset of clinical symptoms in FAD and rises thereafter. While there is variability in change over time, both within and between individuals, and more work is needed to understand the sources of this variability, serum NfL remains a promising, accessible biomarker of early neurodegeneration in presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease.
