Neuropathology of incidental Lewy body & prodromal Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with a loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Despite symptomatic therapies, there is currently no disease-modifying treatment to halt neuronal loss in PD.

Genome sequencing analysis identifies new loci associated with Lewy body dementia and provides insights into its genetic architecture

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2021
The genetic basis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) is not well understood. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing in large cohorts of LBD cases and neurologically healthy controls to study the genetic architecture of this understudied form of dementia ...

Prodromal Lewy Body Disorder Features in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder With Biomarker-Defined Synucleinopathy. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Clin Transl Neurol
ABSTRACT Objective Isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal state for Lewy body disorders and exhibits biological heterogeneity that may influence clinical expression and progression. We examined clinical features in individuals with iRBD and biomarker‐defined synucleinopathy.

Dementia with Lewy Bodies [PDF]

open access: yesNeurologic Clinics, 2007
The advent of new immunostains have improved the ability to detect limbic and cortical Lewy bodies, and it is evident that dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia, after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Distinguishing DLB from AD has important implications for treatment, in terms of substances that may worsen ...

Performance of αSynuclein RT-QuIC in relation to neuropathological staging of Lewy body disease

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2022
Currently, there is a need for diagnostic markers in Lewy body disorders (LBD). α-synuclein (αSyn) RT-QuIC has emerged as a promising assay to detect misfolded αSyn in clinically or neuropathologically established patients with various synucleinopathies.

Recent advances in Lewy body dementia: A comprehensive review.

open access: yesDisease-a-month : DM, 2022
Lewy Body Dementia is the second most frequent neurodegenerative illness proven to cause dementia, after Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is believed to be vastly underdiagnosed, as there is a significant disparity between the number of cases diagnosed ...

I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy in Lewy Body-Related Disorders: A Literature Review [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Movement Disorders, 2015
Lewy body-related disorders are characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, which have abnormal aggregations of α-synuclein in the nigral and extranigral areas, including in the heart.
