Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytoplasmic inclusions of α-synuclein (α-syn) in brainstem neurons are characteristic of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). PD also entails α-syn buildup in sympathetic nerves. Among genetic forms of PD, the relative extents of sympathetic intraneuronal accumulation of α-syn have not been reported. OBJECTIVE: This cross-sectional observational study compared magnitudes of intraneuronal deposition of...
