UCL Identifies Two Multiple Sclerosis Subtypes

Researchers at University College London report in Brain (2025) that machine learning analysis of blood serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and MRI data from 634 patients identifies two distinct multiple sclerosis subtypes, "early-sNfL" and "late-sNfL", with differing lesion patterns and progression rates. If validated, the classification could allow earlier monitoring and more targeted treatment decisions for patients.
