Another in-definitive test. This is worse than horseshoes.
You need to get an MRI that checks beain
Thanks
this test was a nuclear blood test.
"The Mito DNADX blood test, which detects damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the blood, shows promise for early detection of Parkinson's disease. However, it's not yet a definitive test for Parkinson's because mtDNA damage is also found in other diseases.
Here are some things to know about the Mito DNADX test:
What it does
The Mito DNADX test detects damage to the mitochondria, which are responsible for creating energy for the cell.
What it can detect
The test can detect mtDNA damage in people with Parkinson's disease, even if they have a genetic form of the disease or aren't taking medication.
What it can't do
Because mtDNA damage is also found in other diseases, the Mito DNADX test isn't yet a definitive test for Parkinson's.
What it means for Parkinson's disease
The Mito DNADX test is a major step forward in early detection of Parkinson's disease.
Other potential ways to diagnose Parkinson's disease include eye scans, tests that analyze proteins in cerebrospinal fluid, and tests that analyze sebum, the oily substance on the skin. "
