N2 - Neurofilaments are elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of ALS patients. However timing of this increase is unknown. To characterize the premanifest disease phase, we performed a cross-sectional study on asymptomatic (n=12) and symptomatic (n=64) ALS-mutation carriers and family controls (n=19). Neurofilaments NF-L and pNF-H are normal before symptom onset and increased by at least an order of magnitude at early symptom onset in CSF (pNF-H) or serum and CSF (NF-L). Thus blood and CSF neurofilament levels are linked to the symptomatic phase of ALS and might serve as objective markers of structural damage to the nervous system.
