Analysis of the Enteric Nervous System Using Colonic Biopsies

Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this project is to develop an original biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other parkinsonian syndromes (multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy) based upon the detection of pathological alpha-synuclein species in routine colonoscopic biopsies.

Official title: Analysis of the Enteric Nervous System Using Colonic Biopsies: a Useful Biomarker for the Differential Diagnosis of Parkinsonian Syndromes?
