Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting an individual as being at risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease, the method comprising: a) measuring the amount or concentration of neurofilament-light (NfL) in a sample obtained from the individual; and b) detecting the individual as being at risk of developing the disease by comparing the amount or concentration determined in step (a) to the amount or concentration of NfL in a control, wherein an increased value of NfL relative to the control is indicative of the future development of the disease, as well as to uses related thereto.
