Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized pathologically by the formation of Lewy bodies comprised mainly of α-synuclein. Assessment of skin synuclein has the potential as an excellent diagnostic method with high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility that is also convenient and acceptable to patients. In this review, we summarize findings regarding the characteristics of cutaneous nerve p-α-syn or α-syn deposits and their correlations with clinical phenotypes in PD patients with and without orthostatic hypotension and LRRK2, GBA, and SNCA gene mutations. This review can serve as a reference for the diagnosis and classification of PD based on α-syn deposit patterns and to deeply explore its pathogenesis.
