Serum Neurofilament-light Chain and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Proten (GFAP) Levels in Patients From the OFSEP Cohort at Different Landmarks of Multiple Sclerosis
The investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels can provide information about the level of activity and progression of Multiple Sclerosis at different stages and landmarks of the disease. In addition, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) has also been identified as another serum biomarker of disability in MS.
• The patient has been correctly informed.
• The patient must have given their informed and signed consent.
• The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan.
• The patient is at least (≥)15 years old.
• The patient has MS according to diagnosis criteria (Thompson et al. 2017) and:
‣ Participates to the OFSEP-HD cohort (ancillary study);
⁃ Has a Expanded Disability Status Scale score comprised between 0 - 7.0;
⁃ With or without Disease Modifying Drug;
⁃ For Work Package 3: patients enrolled in any OFSEP-HD centre that meet landmark criteria for an active MS (relapse, or Expanded Disability Status Scale progression, or active MRI) during follow-up;
⁃ For Work Package 4: patients with a stable disease enrolled in OFSEP-HD study in Nîmes or Nantes University Hospitals.
