Progression of parkinsonism in multiple system atrophy.

abstract：:Recent studies have shown that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of α-synuclein (α-syn) are highly elevated in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) compared to controls. However, the diagnostic value of CSF α-syn in CJD has not been established. To confirm whether CSF α-syn is increased in CJD and is a useful ...
