A rare case of Parkinson's disease reveals molecular changes in platelets during disease progression

A team from the Genomics and Transcriptomics of Synucleinopathies (GTS) research group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has identified molecular changes in platelets associated with the progression of a rare case of early-onset Parkinson's disease. The study, published in Movement Disorders, highlights the value of these blood components as an accessible source for investigating potential biomarkers of disease progression.
