Low serum neurofilament light chain values identify optimal responders to dimethyl fumarate in multiple sclerosis treatment

Abstract Serum neurofilament light chains (sNfL) are biomarkers of disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS), but their value to predict response to treatment, and their association with patient immunological profile, need to be further explored. We studied 80 relapsing–remitting MS patients initi...
