abstract = {Misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein is a
neuropathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Thus, α-synuclein aggregates are regarded as a biomarker
for the development of diagnostic assays. Quantification of
α-synuclein aggregates in body fluids is challenging, and
requires highly sensitive and specific assays. Recent
studies suggest that α-synuclein aggregates may be shed
into stool. We used surface-based fluorescence intensity
distribution analysis (sFIDA) to detect and quantify single
particles of α-synuclein aggregates in stool of 94 PD
patients, 72 isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior
disorder (iRBD) patients, and 51 healthy controls. We
measured significantly elevated concentrations of
α-synuclein aggregates in stool of iRBD patients versus
those of controls (p = 0.024) or PD patients (p < 0.001).
Our results show that α-synuclein aggregates are excreted
in stool and can be measured using the sFIDA assay, which
could support the diagnosis of prodromal synucleinopathies.},
