Multimodal Autonomic Biomarkers Predict Phenoconversion in Pure Autonomic Failure [PDF]
Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with autonomic failure without other neurological features. A third develop central neurological features, fulfilling criteria for multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body diseases (LBD), including ...

Predicting Phenoconversion in Isolated RBD: Machine Learning and Explainable AI Approach [PDF]
Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is recognized as a precursor to neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to develop predictive models for the timing and subtype of phenoconversion in iRBD.

Pedunculopontine-thalamic cholinergic projections in rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder [PDF]
Cholinergic system degeneration is a hallmark of Lewy body disease, including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), but its involvement in prodromal stages, particularly regarding pedunculopontine-thalamic projections, remains ...

The impact of CYP2C19 genotype on phenoconversion by concomitant medication
Introduction: Pharmacogenetics-informed drug prescribing is increasingly applied in clinical practice. Typically, drug metabolizing phenotypes are determined based on genetic test results, whereupon dosage or drugs are adjusted.

Susceptibility and diffusion MRI biomarkers predict development of Parkinsonism in iRBD [PDF]
Quantitative MRI techniques, including quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), may detect early neurodegenerative changes in ɑ-synucleinopathies, especially within the midbrain.

Gait dysfunction as an early marker of phenoconversion in REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]
Clinical isolated REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Longitudinal changes of gait as a marker of phenoconversion in iRBD have not been systematically evaluated yet.

CD4+ T-cell transcription factors as early predictors of phenoconversion in idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
In this datanote we present data from 31 iRBD (idiopathic Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep Behaviour Disorder) patients followed throughout three years to assess their eventual phenoconversion to Parkinson’s disease and other established neurodegenerative ...

Serum p‐tau217 Is a Prognostic Indicator of Cognitive Impairment in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder [PDF]
Objective Assess the performance of serum phosphorylated tau 217 (p‐tau217) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in predicting risk of cognitive impairment or phenoconversion to dementia in individuals with iRBD. Methods We measured serum p‐tau217 and NfL levels by electrochemiluminescence across 4 polysomnographically confirmed iRBD cohorts (n = 300 ...

‘Phenoconversion’ in adult patients with β-thalassemia [PDF]
To the Editor: Patients with clinically significant forms of β-thalassemia have been historically classified as having a β-thalassemia major or β-thalassemia intermedia phenotype, with the first primarily referring to patients who present with severe ...
