Researchers at the IN UMH-CSIC move closer to an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease through a simple blood test

Using sequencing and bioinformatic analysis, scientists identified 22 genes with altered expression in drug-naïve Parkinson’s patients, many of which are linked to immune and iron-related pathways. The study, published in Neurotherapeutics, paves the way for blood-based diagnostic tools to detect Parkinson’s disease at earlier stages.
