Parkinson’s Disease Biomarker Detection Service
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a type of disease in the nervous system that is second only to Alzheimer's disease, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish it from other neurodegenerative diseases in diagnosis. The development and research of biomarkers are helpful to promote the early diagnosis and disease monitoring of PD. Creative BioMart Biomarker is one of the experts who are professional in single biomarker detection. We have years of biomarker detection experience and advanced technology platform to provide fast, sensitive and repeatable PD biomarker detection services according to customer needs.
Introduction
PD is a type of neurological disease caused by the lack of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter related to exercise, memory and other functions. The clinical characteristics of PD patients are mainly bradykinesia, muscle stiffness, postural instability and resting tremor. In addition, it may also present non-motor symptoms such as olfactory dysfunction, autonomic nerve abnormalities, sleep problems and constipation. The main pathological features of PD are the gradual degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the accumulation of intra-neural inclusions of α-synuclein. The symptoms and signs of PD usually develop after 70-80% of dopamine neurons degenerate. The disease progression stages of PD include preclinical PD stage, prodromal PD stage and clinical PD stage. Among them, the neurodegenerative process occurs in the preclinical PD stage but is not accompanied by obvious symptoms or signs. The symptoms or signs appear in the prodromal PD stage, but it is not enough to confirm the disease. Until the clinical PD stage, the diagnosis of the disease can be based on the patient's symptoms or signs. Therefore, the clinical diagnosis of PD is mainly based on the clinical characteristics of patients, but PD and many neurodegenerative diseases have common clinical features, such as corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, and dementia with Lewy bodies, which will increase the complexity of PD diagnosis and increase the misdiagnosis rate of early PD. The introduction of biomarkers can objectively evaluate disease or physiological changes, which is conducive to early diagnosis of PD and monitoring of disease progression. Some candidate biomarkers related to PD have been found in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva samples, such as 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and α-synuclein. However, in order to screen out more sensitive and specific biomarkers and improve the accuracy of PD diagnosis, more research on PD-related biomarkers is needed.
