New Parkinson's Test Accurately Detects Disease Early, Enabling Targeted Treatments and Cure Search

A groundbreaking test analyzes Parkinson's disease proteins, detecting the disease up to 90% of the time even before symptoms appear.
The test could lead to earlier diagnosis, enabling targeted treatments and expediting the search for a cure.
The test identifies nearly all people with a loss of smell, an early sign of Parkinson's.
Although more study is needed, the test shows promise for radically changing how Parkinson's is detected and treated.
The test analyzes abnormal proteins that build up in Parkinson's, enabling research into new treatments that could slow or stop disease progression.
