Abstract
In this study, we compared the value of pathological alpha-synuclein (αSyn) seed amplification assay (SAA) in gastric and duodenal biopsies with skin biopsies in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with different disease duration. The accuracy of αSyn SAA was 87.7% in skin, 67.4% in duodenum, and 80.0% in gastric biopsies, with significantly higher sensitivity in advanced PD (skin: 81.8%; gastric: 88.9%; duodenal 58.8%). Misfolded αSyn was detected with higher sensitivity in advanced PD across all matrices, likely reflecting the progression of αSyn pathology. The seeding activity was lower in the duodenal than in the gastric wall, indicating differences in αSyn burden.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of high-quality research related to all areas of neurology. The journal publishes original research and scholarly reviews focused on the mechanisms and treatments of diseases of the nervous system; high-impact topics in neurologic education; and other topics of interest to the clinical neuroscience community.
