Our latest preprint: we found that plasma NfL was elevated in Niemann-Pick Type C, but GFAP wasn’t. More evidence for the diagnostic utility of NfL in devastating conditions like NPC. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Very pleased to announce our latest publication. We investigated blood NfL to distinguish bvFTD from psychiatric conditions, with 3 main findings (below), & developed an interactive online NfL reference range app. Thanks to all our amazing collaborators!

So grateful for huge support from specialists, GPs, participants & families, & proud of a massive achievement: 850+ people recruited from all across Australia!
Sad to close recruitment now (but still considering referrals for people with strongly suspected/diagnosed dementia)
