Dopaminergic function in familial Parkinson's disease: A clinical and <sup>18</sup>F‐dopa positron emission tomography study

1 Feb 1997

Abstract excerpt

There is increasing evidence for familial aggregation in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is possible that some asymptomatic relatives of PD patients have subclinical nigral Lewy body pathology and their identification could help determine the true prevalence of the disease. We used 18F-dopa positron emission tomography to investigate nigrostriatal dopaminergic terminal function in asymptomatic members of 7 unrelated...
