Seed amplification assay (SAA) testing has been developed as a biomarker for the diagnosis of α-synuclein-related neurodegenerative disorders.
The objective of this study was to assess the rate of α-synuclein SAA positivity in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and to analyze clinical and pathological features of SAA-positive and -negative cases.
A total of 96 cerebrospinal fluid samples from clinically diagnosed PSP (n = 59) and CBS (n = 37) cases were analyzed using α-synuclein SAA.
Six of 59 (10.2%) PSP cases were α-synuclein SAA positive, including one case who was MSA-type positive. An exploratory analysis showed that PSP cases who were Parkinson's disease-type positive were older and had a shorter disease duration compared with SAA-negative cases. In contrast, 11 of 37 (29.7%) CBS cases were α-synuclein SAA positive, including two cases who were MSA-type positive.
Our results suggest that α-synuclein seeds can be detected in PSP and CBS using a cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein SAA, and in PSP this may impact on clinical course.
种子扩增分析(SAA)检测已被开发作为诊断α-突触核蛋白相关神经退行性疾病的生物标志物。
本研究的目的是评估进行性核上性麻痹(PSP)和皮质基底节综合征(CBS)中α-突触核蛋白SAA阳性率,并分析SAA阳性和阴性病例的临床及病理特征。
使用α-突触核蛋白SAA对96份来自临床诊断为PSP(n = 59)和CBS(n = 37)病例的脑脊液样本进行分析。
59例PSP病例中有6例(10.2%)α-突触核蛋白SAA呈阳性,其中1例为多系统萎缩(MSA)型阳性。一项探索性分析显示,与SAA阴性病例相比,帕金森病型阳性的PSP病例年龄更大,病程更短。相比之下,37例CBS病例中有11例(29.7%)α-突触核蛋白SAA呈阳性,其中2例为MSA型阳性。
我们的结果表明,使用脑脊液α-突触核蛋白SAA可在PSP和CBS中检测到α-突触核蛋白种子,且在PSP中这可能会影响临床病程。
