Serum Neurofilament Light Chain Reference App
Levels of serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) increase with age and decrease with body mass index (BMI). The application can be used to calculate age- and BMI-adjusted sNfL percentile values and Z score.
These two interchangeable measures quantify the deviation of the entered sNfL value in comparison to control persons of the same age and BMI, based on a reference database of 4532 persons. (Benkert et al., Lancet Neurology 2022; 21: 244–55.)

Measurement of sNfL
Clinicians are welcome to send patients' serum samples to the Multiple Sclerosis Centre at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland for measurement of NfL levels. Details are available in the order form below:
Adjust your values and define output
Provide age, NfL levels and body mass index to automatically receive adjusted percentiles and Z score
Immediate results
Get an immediate visual representation of your data with respect to values in the NfL reference database
Adjust Your Values And Define Output
Provide the age, NfL levels and optionally body mass index and the app calculates adjusted percentiles and Z score.
