Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, Sameea Husain-Wilson, DO, a movement disorder specialist at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute of Baptist Health, provided clinical perspective on the use of the Syn-One diagnostic test for patients with Parkinson disease (PD). She gave an overview of how the test is utilized in clinic, ways to interpret results, and the right personnel needed to ensure an accurate diagnosis. In addition, she provided clarity on the role of alpha-synuclein in PD, the advances in research in this area, and how the test incorporates this prominent biomarker. Furthermore, Husain-Wilson detailed some of the next steps in further optimizing the test in clinical settings, highlighting the importance of other non-movement disorder specialists who will play a major role in the diagnostic evaluation of future patients with PD.
