. Author manuscript; available in PMC: 2023 Nov 5. Summary Background Emerging evidence shows that α-synuclein seed amplification assays (SAAs) have the potential to differentiate people with Parkinson’s disease from healthy controls. We used the well characterised, multicentre Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) cohort to further assess the diagnostic performance of the α-synuclein SAA and to examine whether the assay identifies heterogeneity among patients and enables the early identification of at-risk groups. Methods This cross-sectional analysis is based on…
