Parkinson’s Diagnosis Can Be Challenging

Most physicians are experienced in identifying Parkinson’s disease (PD) based on clinical evaluation. However, in many cases — especially in early stages or when symptoms overlap with other movement disorders — reaching a confident diagnosis can be difficult.

Studies suggest that even experienced clinicians may face diagnostic uncertainty in up to 30% of early-stage cases, particularly when distinguishing PD from atypical parkinsonian syndromes.

What the SynAScan 1 Test Does

The SynAScan 1 Test is designed to support clinical diagnosis by detecting seeds of alpha-synuclein aggregates — a key biomarker associated with Parkinson’s disease.

  • High sensitivity and specificity for identifying pathological α-synuclein
  • Detects seeds in patient samples using a seed amplification-based assay
  • Adds a molecular layer of evidence to assist physicians in diagnostic evaluation

When Might the Test Be Useful?

Physicians may consider using the test when:

  • Clinical features are unclear or overlapping with other parkinsonian conditions
  • Early-stage symptoms are present, but diagnosis remains uncertain
  • Additional evidence is needed before initiating long-term therapy
  • There is a need to distinguish PD from disorders such as PSP, MSA, or essential tremor
  • In case of familial medical history

Positioned for Clinical Use

The SynAScan 1 Test is being developed to be accessible only through healthcare providers and used in conjunction with clinical evaluation. It is not a direct-to-consumer product.
