Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease compromising progressive motor and non-motor features for a long disease course. Although many drugs controlling parkinsonian symptoms were discovered, treatment with disease-modifying or halting effect was not developed to date. The exploration of reliable biomarkers would be helpful for better predicting disease progression and thereby successful development of disease-modifying therapy. In this review, we will review the clinical biomarkers in the prodromal stage and biomarkers using biological tissue in Parkinson’s disease.
