SYN-ONE Testing for Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders
Accurate and Early Detection of Neurodegenerative Conditions
We offer SYN-ONE testing to detect and diagnose Parkinson’s disease and related disorders with precision. SYN-ONE is the first skin-based test that detects abnormal alpha-synuclein protein, a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy. This cutting-edge diagnostic tool provides critical insights that help confirm diagnoses and initiate appropriate treatments.
SYN-ONE is a non-invasive diagnostic test that detects misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins in small nerve fibers. These proteins are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease and other disorders affecting the autonomic and central nervous systems. This testing allows for earlier detection, improving the accuracy of diagnosis and guiding personalized treatment plans.
When is SYN-ONE Testing Recommended?
If you or a loved one shows these symptoms, early testing is crucial for starting the right treatment path.You may benefit from SYN-ONE testing if you experience symptoms such as:
How SYN-ONE Testing Works at Neurokin
Initial Consultation
We’ll begin with a detailed review of your medical history and symptoms to determine if SYN-ONE testing is appropriate.
Skin Biopsy Procedure
Using local anesthesia, we collect small skin samples from three targeted areas (usually the forearm, thigh, or neck). The procedure is minimally invasive, taking 15-30 minutes.
Laboratory Analysis
The samples are sent to a specialized laboratory where experts analyze them for the presence of misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Report
Once the results are available, we’ll schedule a follow-up consultation to review the findings and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Benefits of SYN-ONE Testing for Parkinson’s and Related Disorders
Accurate Diagnosis
Confirms the presence of abnormal alpha-synuclein proteins linked to Parkinson’s and related conditions.
Non-Invasive
Uses small skin biopsies with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Early Detection
Identifies neurodegenerative disorders at an earlier stage, improving outcomes.
Targeted Treatment Plans
Results help tailor personalized care for each patient.
FAQs About SYN-ONE Testing
How accurate is SYN-ONE testing?
SYN-ONE testing offers high diagnostic accuracy by detecting misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins, which are directly associated with Parkinson’s disease and related conditions
Is the biopsy procedure painful?
The biopsy is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience only mild discomfort and resume normal activities the same day.
How long does it take to get the results?
It typically takes 2-3 weeks to receive the results from the laboratory. We’ll contact you promptly to review the findings and discuss next steps.
What disorders can SYN-ONE testing detect?
SYN-ONE helps diagnose Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and other neurodegenerative conditions associated with misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins
What happens after a positive SYN-ONE test?
If the test confirms the presence of abnormal alpha-synuclein, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, focusing on symptom management and slowing disease progression.
