Résumé
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a chronic, slowly progressing disorder. The lack of specific disease progression biomarkers limits the execution of clinical trials. However, neurofilament light chain (NfL) has been suggested as a potential biomarker for peripheral nervous system disorders. Ninety-six CMT disease patients and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Disease severity assessment included clinical evaluation with CMT Neuropathy Score version 2 (CMTNSv2). Blood plasma NfL concentrations were measured using the single-molecule array NfL assay. The NfL concentration was significantly higher in the CMT disease patient group than in the controls (p < 0.001). Of the CMT disease patients, those with type CMTX1 had a higher NfL level than those in the two other analysed subgroups (CMT1A and other CMT disease types) (p = 0.0498). The NfL concentration had a significant but weak correlation with the CMTNSv2 (r Our study confirmed that the plasma NfL concentration is significantly higher in CMT disease patients than in controls. Plasma NfL concentration was found to significantly, albeit weakly, reflect the clinical severity of CMT disease. In the future, NfL may be used, either individually or collaboratively, as a biomarker in the clinical context of suspected CMT disease; however, several issues need to be addressed first.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a chronic, slowly progressing disorder. The lack of specific disease progression biomarkers limits the execution of clinical trials. However, neurofilament light chain (NfL) has been suggested as a potential biomarker for peripheral nervous system disorders.
METHODS
Ninety-six CMT disease patients and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Disease severity assessment included clinical evaluation with CMT Neuropathy Score version 2 (CMTNSv2). Blood plasma NfL concentrations were measured using the single-molecule array NfL assay.
RESULTS
The NfL concentration was significantly higher in the CMT disease patient group than in the controls (p < 0.001). Of the CMT disease patients, those with type CMTX1 had a higher NfL level than those in the two other analysed subgroups (CMT1A and other CMT disease types) (p = 0.0498). The NfL concentration had a significant but weak correlation with the CMTNSv2 (r
CONCLUSIONS
Our study confirmed that the plasma NfL concentration is significantly higher in CMT disease patients than in controls. Plasma NfL concentration was found to significantly, albeit weakly, reflect the clinical severity of CMT disease. In the future, NfL may be used, either individually or collaboratively, as a biomarker in the clinical context of suspected CMT disease; however, several issues need to be addressed first.
