Finding useful biomarkers for Parkinson's disease

Alice S Chen-Plotkin et al. Sci Transl Med. .

Abstract

The recent advent of an "ecosystem" of shared biofluid sample biorepositories and data sets will focus biomarker efforts in Parkinson's disease, boosting the therapeutic development pipeline and enabling translation with real-world impact.

Means and standard errors of the mean (SEM) for scores on the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS)-III for PPMI cohort participants. Pink=Healthy controls (HC). Yellow=subjects without evidence of dopaminergic deficit (SWEDD). Parkinson’s Disease patients stratified by tertile of MDS-UPDRS-III score are shown for the lowest tertile (blue), middle tertile (black), and highest tertile (red).
