Abstract:
We assessed non motor characteristics of 12 asymptomatic p.A53T mutation carriers (A53T-AC) compared with 36 healthy controls (HC) enrolled in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) study. Olfaction score was lower and anxiety was marginally more prevalent in A53T- AC. These findings suggest distinct prodromal features in this group of subjects.
