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. @superdha @MarkWalterfang @Doctor_Samba @TheRMH @UniMelbMDHS

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! themindstudy.org/blood-neuro…

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)
