Diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid alpha-synuclein seed quantification in synucleinopathies

Abstract:

Several studies have confirmed α-synuclein real-time quaking-induced conversion (αSyn-RT-QuIC) assay to have high sensitivity and specificity for Parkinson’s disease. However, whether the assay can be used as a robust, quantitative measure to monitor disease progression, stratify different synucleinopathies and predict disease conversion in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder remains undetermined. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of CSF aSyn-RT-QuIC q...
