Abstract
Phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (p-syn) in dermal nerves of patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is detectable by immunofluorescence-labeling. Skin-biopsy-p-syn-positivity was recently postulated to be a prodromal marker of Parkinson's disease (PD) or related synucleinopathies. Here, we provide two-to four-year clinical and skin biopsy follow-up data of 33 iRBD patients, whose skin biopsy findings at baseline were reported in 2017.
