He adds that the results reinforce evidence that the gut microbiome can serve as an early warning signal for the risk of the disease. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, involved the analysis of clinical and fecal samples from participants in the UK and Italy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants included:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>271 people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>43 carriers of the GBA1 variant (a gene that increases risk up to 30 times) but without symptoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>150 healthy control participants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results show that more than a quarter of the microbial species in the gut microbiome differ between sick and healthy individuals. Certain bacteria are more common in Parkinson&#8217;s patients, while others predominate in healthy individuals. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These differences are most pronounced in people at a more advanced stage of the disease, but they are also observed in asymptomatic carriers of the GBA1 genetic variant.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImportantly, the same changes are found in a small portion of the general population, which may indicate an increased risk of developing Parkinson&#8217;s,\u201d Schapira emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parkinson&#8217;s disease is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorder in terms of prevalence, disability, and mortality, and the second most common after Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disease is characterized by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing neurons. By the time motor symptoms appear and a diagnosis is made, more than half of these cells have already died. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers emphasize that early detection is crucial for the effectiveness of future therapies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnalysis of the gut microbiome could allow us to identify individuals at risk and offer them ways to reduce that risk, for example, through dietary changes,\u201d says co-author Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, scientists note that further research is needed to clarify what other genetic and environmental factors influence whether a person will actually develop the disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microorganisms in the human gut can signal the risk of developing Parkinson&#8217;s disease years before the onset of the first symptoms, according to a new study reported by Euronews.
