abstract：OBJECTIVE:The role of Glial Fibrillic Acidic Protein (GFAP) as a potential biomarker for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) has been controversially discussed. The aim was to characterize the added value of GFAP levels in the CSF of RRMS and CIS patients in correlation ...
