Relationship between Neurofilament Light chain and motor function scales in myotonic dystrophy type 1: A retrospective single center study

Key Points

• Motor function scales are significantly correlated with neurofilament light chain levels in myotonic dystrophy type 1.
• The correlation was evident with a clear statistical significance, showing strong connections to disease progression.
• Retrospective study analyzed data over a specific timeframe from a single center, exploring these biomarkers.
• Findings suggest that neurofilament light chains may serve as relevant biomarkers for motor function assessment in myotonic dystrophy.
