Are we letting our perspectives evolve on α-Synuclein testing for Parkinson's? Cameron Dietiker and Caroline Tanner challenge us to think deeper on the topic and consider all the factors in play. I also include Claudio Soto's great recent review on the actual test for nerds

TNS Lobby Day is TOMORROW! Join your neuro colleagues at the Texas Capitol. You don't need a public policy background, just a passion for neurology and the desire for positive change. 📢 bit.ly/4gZOWxi

How do folks w/ genetic mutations do w/ DBS therapy for their Parkinson's? Excellent. How about the 'famous' SNCA mutation(s) discovered and are now known to produce the protein alpha-synuclein? Excellent. These mutations set off the era of 'gene hunting' for Parkinson's.
