Blood parameters (serum biomarkers) in MOGAD
This study aimed to test the differences in patterns of serum biomarkers in MOGAD versus AQP4-seropositive NMOSD. Three serum biomarkers — neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and tau — were compared between patients in relapse and remission states and cross-checked against disability index scores. The patterns of serum biomarkers in MOGAD showed distinct features from those in AQP4-seropositive NMOSD, which shows that these two diseases have different pathogeneses.
