Researchers develop blood test method for early detection of Parkinson's disease

Jerusalem, Apr 11 (UNI) Israeli researchers have developed a new RNA-based blood test for detecting Parkinson's disease long before symptoms emerge, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) said in a statement on Friday.
Parkinson's is often diagnosed only after significant brain damage has occurred, when most relevant neurons are already lost, underscoring the need for early detection.
The new method, detailed in Nature Aging, measures specific RNA fragments in the blood. It focuses on two key biomarkers: a repetitive RNA sequence that accumulates in Parkinson's patients, and mitochondrial RNA, which declines as the disease progresses.
