Spinal fluid protein patterns recur in early Parkinson’s
The observational preprint compared healthy controls, people with possible early signs and people with untreated Parkinson’s in independent cohorts of 721 and 974…The observational preprint compared healthy controls, people with possible early signs and people with untreated Parkinson’s in independent cohorts of 721 and 974 participants.
Preprint: cohort studyParkinson's disease
Who was studiedHealthy controls, prodromal participants, and untreated Parkinson's patients
What changedSpinal fluid protein patterns differed reproducibly between people with slightly impairing Parkinson's and healthy controls across cohorts
The catchProtein differences do not amount to a validated clinical test
