ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Seed amplification assay (SAA) testing has been developed as a biomarker for the diagnosis of α-synuclein-related neurodegenerative disorders.OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to assess the rate of α-synuclein SAA positivity in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and to analyze clinical and pathological features of SAA-positive and -negative cases.METHODS:
A total of 96 cerebrospinal fluid samples from clinically diagnosed PSP (n = 59) and CBS (n = 37) cases were analyzed using α-synuclein SAA.RESULTS:
Six of 59 (10.2%) PSP cases were α-synuclein SAA positive, including one case who was MSA-type positive. An exploratory analysis showed that PSP cases who were Parkinson's disease-type positive were older and had a shorter disease duration compared with SAA-negative cases. In contrast, 11 of 37 (29.7%) CBS cases were α-synuclein SAA positive, including two cases who were MSA-type positive.CONCLUSIONS:
Our results suggest that α-synuclein seeds can be detected in PSP and CBS using a cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein SAA, and in PSP this may impact on clinical course. © 2024 The Author(s).
