Summary

This study aims to develop a blood test to diagnose Parkinson's disease and related disorders more accurately and earlier. Researchers will use a technique called RT-QuIC to detect misfolded proteins in blood samples from about 458 participants, including healthy controls and patients with Parkinson's or multiple system atrophy. The goal is to improve diagnosis without needing a brain biopsy or waiting until after death.
