High diagnostic performance of independent alpha-synuclein seed amplification assays for detection of early Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Alpha-synuclein seed amplification assays (αSyn-SAAs) are promising diagnostic tools for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies. They enable detection of seeding-competent alpha-synuclein aggregates in living patients and have shown high diagnostic accuracy in several PD and...
