Genetic and Pathological Testing Attitudes for Parkinson's Disease in At‐Risk Relatives
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasingly recognized as a neurodegenerative disorder with a broad clinical spectrum and diverse biomarkers enabling early detection. α‐synuclein seed amplification assays (SAA) and genetic testing now allow identification of PD pathology in asymptomatic individuals.

Dementia With Lewy Bodies: A Review of Disease-Modifying Therapies for α-Synucleinopathies
Aims: The global demographic transition has led to a growing ageing population. Neurodegenerative disease prevalence is high in the elderly, as aged brains accumulate molecular and cellular damage.

A Biomarker‐Based Classification of Corticobasal Syndrome
Abstract Background Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a clinically defined syndrome with progressive movement and cortical dysfunction, caused by various underlying pathologies, most commonly tau‐predominant pathologies such as progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, or Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Getting to the heart of Lewy body disease
Early identification of neurodegenerative diseases before extensive neuronal loss or disabling symptoms have occurred is imperative for effective use of disease-modifying therapies.

Rare but Relevant? Assessing Variants in Dystonia‐Linked Genes in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Dystonia and Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit clinical and genetic overlap, but the relevance of dystonia gene variants in PD remains unclear. Objective The aim was to assess the frequency of dystonia‐linked pathogenic variants in PD.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...
