Neurofilament as a Blood Marker for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Primary Progressive Aphasias
Neurol 88:961-969, Steinacker, P.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Blood level of NF-L can aid the differential diagnosis of PPA variants, especially in combination with CSF pNF-H. Because serum NF-L correlates with functional decline and atrophy in the disease course, it qualifies as an objective disease status marker. Extended follow-up studies with cases of known neuropathology are imperative.
