Identifying non-invasive biomarkers is critical to evaluate the long-term safety of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated therapies. Plasma neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) levels are associated with dorsal root ganglia toxicity in rats and monkeys, suggesting that circulating Nf-L is a promising tool to be included in clinical trials and practice.
