Abstract excerpt
Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) is the main protein component of Lewy bodies (LB), the pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of α-Syn are not currently used as a clinical biomarker but may be a proxy for pathological α-Syn accumulation in the brain. Therefore, identifying genetic modifiers of CSF α-Syn levels could provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms lead...
