"A 14-year study tracking NfL levels in people with the Huntington's Disease gene shows this tiny protein can signal disease progression many years before symptoms start. The longest follow-up study yet adds weight to NfL as a powerful tool for HD research."
The new paper on Huntington's Disease has been co-authored by Dr Zanna Voysey together with PhD student Natalia Owen. Co-authors from Clinical Neurosciences include Dr Maura Malpetti and Professor Roger Barker.
