Parkinson disease (PD) affects up to 10 million people worldwide and is clinically diagnosed. Molecular phenotyping of patient samples might help to corroborate diagnosis, and a new study suggests that blood-based gene expression profiling might distinguish between patients with PD and those without. However, experience suggests that additional replication is needed.
帕金森病(PD)影响全球多达 1000 万人,且可临床诊断。对患者样本进行分子表型分析可能有助于证实诊断,一项新研究表明,基于血液的基因表达谱分析或许可以区分 PD 患者和非 PD 患者。然而,经验表明,还需要进一步的复制。
