Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light is associated with survival in mitochondrial disease patients
(2019) In Mitochondrion 46. p.228-235- Abstract
We studied the biomarker patterns related to axonal injury, astrogliosis and amyloid metabolism in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children and adolescents with mitochondrial encephalopathy and identified correlations with phenotype and survival outcome. Forty-six pediatric patients with genetically verified mitochondrial encephalopathy and twenty-two controls investigated at the Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Sweden, were included. CSF lactate and neurofilament light (NF-L) were significantly increased in patients with mitochondrial encephalopathy compared to controls. Elevated CSF NF-L was associated with abnormal brain MRI and poorer survival. We suggest that CSF NF-L may be used in both clinical and research settings for monitoring... (More)

Elevated CSF NF-L was associated with abnormal brain MRI and poorer survival. We suggest that CSF NF-L may be used in both clinical and research settings for monitoring the neurodegenerative process in mitochondrial disease.
