Summary

This prospective observational study aims to identify and preliminarily validate molecular biomarkers, including microRNAs and metabolites, for early differentiation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS). The study will enroll up to 100 PD patients, 50 suspected APS patients, and 50 healthy controls. Participants will undergo clinical assessments and provide blood, urine, and stool samples at baseline and after 12-18 months. Molecular analyses (microRNA profiling, metabolomics, RNA-seq, and microbiome analysis) will be performed to identify diagnostic signatures. The primary goal is to detect differences in molecular profiles, while secondary objectives include evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of biomarker panels and their changes over time. Although participants will not receive direct therapeutic benefits, the study may contribute to the development of non-invasive tools for early diagnosis and improved differentiation of parkinsonian disorders
