What’s the easiest test available to the man on the street?
“The test accurately detected the abnormal alpha-synuclein protein in 93% of people who had already been diagnosed by their symptoms with Parkinson’s”
Nifty very sensitive, but my sticky note that says "positive" is accurate 100% of the time when placed on people who have already been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
