New blood test pinpoints Parkinson's disease through mitochondrial DNA damage

New blood test pinpoints Parkinson's disease through mitochondrial DNA damage

Researchers have developed a new blood test that measures mitochondrial DNA damage as a potential marker for Parkinson's disease (PD). The study shows the test could aid in diagnosing PD and assessing responses to LRRK2 kinase inhibitors, which may help in reducing mitochondrial damage in PD patients.
