Subnormal GM1 in PBMCs: Promise for Early Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease?

Abstract excerpt

The fact that Parkinson's disease (PD) pathologies are well advanced in most PD patients by the time of clinical elucidation attests to the importance of early diagnosis. Our attempt to achieve this has capitalized on our previous finding that GM1 ganglioside is expressed at subnormal levels in virtually all tissues of sporadic PD (sPD) patients including blood cells. GM1 is present in most vertebrate cells, is...
