Skin biopsy to detect PD..
A top Israeli research center working on Biomarkers have detected alpha-synuclein in the body tissues including skin nerve fibres. They have designed a test to detect presence of alpha-synuclein using simple skin biopsies. They found this test to be accurate in over 93% cases for people with clinically detected Parkinson’s Disease.
