abstract = {Background: α-Synuclein pathology is associated with
neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) and
considered to sequentially spread across the brain (Braak
stages). According to a new hypothesis of distinct
α-synuclein spreading directions based on the initial site
of pathology, the "brain-first" spreading subtype would be
associated with a more asymmetric cerebral and nigrostriatal
pathology than the "body-first" subtype.Objective: Here, we
tested if proposed markers of brain-first PD (ie, higher
dopamine transporter [DaT] asymmetry; absence of rapid eye
movement sleep behavior disorder [RBD]) are associated with
a greater or more asymmetric reduction in gray matter volume
(GMV) in comparison to body-first PD.Methods: Data of 255 de
novo PD patients and 110 healthy controls (HCs) were
retrieved from the Parkinson's Progression Markers
Initiative. Structural magnetic resonance images were
preprocessed, and GMVs and their hemispherical asymmetry
were obtained for each of the neuropathologically defined
Braak stages. Group and correlation comparisons were
performed to assess differences in GMV and GMV asymmetry
between PD subtypes.Results: PD patients demonstrated
significantly smaller bilateral GMVs compared to HCs, in a
pattern denoting stage-dependent disease-related brain
atrophy. However, the degree of putaminal DaT asymmetry was
not associated with reduced GMV or higher GMV asymmetry.
Furthermore, RBD-negative and RBD-positive patients did not
demonstrate a significant difference in GMV or GMV
asymmetry.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that putative
brain-first and body-first patients do not present diverging
brain atrophy patterns. Although certainly not disproving
the brain-first/body-first spreading hypothesis, this study
fails to provide evidence in support of it. © 2022 The
