The present invention relates to methods of detecting neurodegenerative diseases or disorders, particularly to methods for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. The present invention provides a method for detecting a neurodegenerative disease in a subject, the method comprising testing the subject for an indicator of release of neuromelanin from cells in the brain, wherein a positive test is indicative of death of brain cells containing neuromelanin and is characterised by an elevated level of the indicator of release of neuromelanin compared to control values.
本发明涉及检测神经退行性疾病或紊乱的方法,尤其涉及早期检测神经退行性疾病(如帕金森病)的方法。本发明提供了一种检测受试者神经退行性疾病的方法,该方法包括检测受试者大脑中细胞释放神经络氨酸的指标,其中阳性检测表明含有神经络氨酸的脑细胞死亡,其特征是神经络氨酸释放指标的水平与对照值相比升高。
