α-Synuclein Deposition in Sympathetic Nerve Fibers in Genetic Forms of Parkinson’s Disease

Individuals with SNCADJ-1LRRK2, or GBA mutations have substantial intraneuronal α-syn deposition in sympathetic noradrenergic nerves in skin biopsies, whereas those with biallelic PRKN mutations do not. Biallelic PRKN patients may have mildly increased α-syn deposition compared with control subjects. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. CLICK TO REVIEW
