Summary
This study is looking for better ways to diagnose Parkinson's disease using samples that are easy to collect, like blood, skin, and nasal swabs. Researchers will compare these samples from 340 people, including those with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find biological markers that could lead to a simpler, more accurate diagnosis.
