Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder whose aetiology remains unclear: degeneration involves several neurotransmission systems, resulting in a heterogeneous disease characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. PD causes progressive disability that responds only to symptomatic therapies. Future advances include neuroprotective strategies for use in at-risk populations before the clinical onset of disease, hence the continuing need to identify reliable biomarkers that can facilitate the clinical diagnosis of PD. In this evaluative review, we summarize information on potential diagnostic biomarkers for use in the clinical and preclinical stages of PD. Avoid common mistakes on your manuscript. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease: the incidence rate is 8–18 per 100,000 person-years in prospective population-based studies and the prevalence increases with age, the main known risk factor (Lee and Gilbert
