Promising Test For Detecting Parkinson's
"We have previously shown in autopsies of Parkinson's patients that the
abnormal proteins associated with Parkinson's are consistently found in
the submandibular saliva glands, found under the lower jaw. This is the
first study demonstrating the value of testing a portion of the saliva
gland to diagnose a living person with Parkinson's disease. Making a
diagnosis in living patients is a big step forward in our effort to
understand and better treat patients."
Sorry if my brain splatter got on you through the monitor.
