Abstract

α-Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein aggregates in neurons, nerve fibres or glial cells. While small amounts of these α-synuclein pathologies can occur in some neurologically normal individuals who do not have associated neurodegeneration, the absence of neurodegeneration in such individuals precludes them from having a degenerative α-synucleinopathy, and it has yet to be established whether such individuals have a form of preclinical disease. There are three main types of α-synucleinopathy, Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), with other rare disorders also having α-synuclein pathologies, such as various neuroaxonal dystrophies. Multiple clinical phenotypes exist for each of the three main α-synucleinopathies, with these phenotypes differing in the dynamic distribution of their underlying neuropathologies. Identifying the factors involved in causing different α-synuclein phenotypes may ultimately lead to more targeted therapeutics as well as more accurate clinical prognosis.

  • In neurological disease and aging, modified proteins are the histopathological hallmarks of a number of diseases, such as SOD1 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and a class of diseases long referred to as the proteinopathies, including tauopathies in Alzheimer's disease and inclusions of amyloid beta, alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's and multiple secondary ubiquitinopathies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
