Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathies including Parkinson's disease (PD), yet its clinical heterogeneity remains underexplored. This study aimed to identify novel brain-clinical biotypes in iRBD by integrating structural MRI and clinical assessments. We included 172 patients with video-polysomnography-confirmed iRBD and 126 controls who underwent multimodal MRI and clinical evaluation. Similarity Network Fusion was used to integrate cortical thickness, surface area, subcortical volume, and clinical data, followed by spectral clustering to identify iRBD biotypes. Two distinct biotypes were identified: Biotype 1 showed widespread cortical-subcortical-cerebellar atrophy, functional hypoconnectivity, more motor and cognitive deficits with higher prodromal PD risk; Biotype 2 demonstrated increased surface area in limbic and parietal regions, cortical-cerebellar hyperconnectivity, and preserved neurocognitive function. These findings underscore the presence of distinct neurobiological subtypes in iRBD, highlighting the need for longitudinal monitoring to clarify their trajectories and implications for disease progression.
特发性快速眼动睡眠行为障碍(iRBD)是包括帕金森病(PD)在内的α-突触核蛋白病的前驱阶段,但其临床异质性仍未得到充分探索。本研究旨在通过整合结构磁共振成像(MRI)和临床评估,确定iRBD中新的脑-临床生物型。我们纳入了172例经视频多导睡眠图确诊的iRBD患者和126例接受了多模态MRI和临床评估的对照者。使用相似性网络融合来整合皮质厚度、表面积、皮质下体积和临床数据,随后进行光谱聚类以识别iRBD生物型。确定了两种不同的生物型:生物型1表现为广泛的皮质-皮质下-小脑萎缩、功能连接减弱、更多的运动和认知缺陷以及更高的前驱PD风险;生物型2表现为边缘和顶叶区域表面积增加、皮质-小脑连接增强以及神经认知功能保留。这些发现强调了iRBD中存在不同的神经生物学亚型,突出了进行纵向监测以阐明其发展轨迹及其对疾病进展影响的必要性。
