81-OR: High Throughput Proteomics Identifies Neurofilament Light Chain (NFL) as a Novel Blood Biomarker for Detection of Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy
Background: The neurofilament light chain (NFL) is a polypeptide abundant in neuronal axons, reflecting ongoing neuroaxonal degeneration when detected in the blood. However, no previous study has explored NFL as a potential biomarker for diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) , a neurodegenerat...

Zusammenfassung: | Background: The neurofilament light chain (NFL) is a polypeptide abundant in neuronal axons, reflecting ongoing neuroaxonal degeneration when detected in the blood. However, no previous study has explored NFL as a potential biomarker for diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) , a neurodegenerative disease of the peripheral nervous system commonly found in individuals with diabetes. We hypothesized that higher serum NFL levels are associated with DSPN.
Methods: We used data from the German Diabetes Study, a prospective observational study that includes adults with recent-onset diabetes ( |
