The role of the Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene in relation to retinal degeneration and clinical features of PD was also explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case-control study included 26 patients with idiopathic PD and 78 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, for a total of 208 eyes.

Significant differences were found in the superior sector of the left eye (OS2) (increase of 3 units in PD), the inferior sector of the left eye (OS2) (decrease of 3 units in PD), and the total volume of both eyes (decrease of 0.13 units in PD). An inverse correlation between retinal thickness and age at onset was observed in the temporal and inferior sectors of both eyes. The Val\/Met heterozygous polymorphism was identified in 30.7% of PD patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study confirms that thinning of the inner retinal layers is associated with PD. OCT provides a rapid, non-invasive, repeatable, and cost-effective method for in vivo assessment of retinal layers, supporting its potential as an early biomarker for PD. Further longitudinal studies with larger samples are needed to clarify the role of the BDNF polymorphism in retinal degeneration in PD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/11206721251335060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,17]],"date-time":"2025-04-17T04:08:01Z","timestamp":1744862881000},"page":"1746-1760","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Implementing potential biomarkers for early detection of retinal changes in Parkinson's disease: Preliminary study on BDNF role"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Mariaelena","family":"Malvasi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esterina","family":"Pascale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical-Surgical Sciences and Biotechnologies, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicoletta","family":"Locuratolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Italian National Institute of Health, Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Fattapposta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caterina","family":"Pauletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Grazia","family":"Finoia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Environmental Characterization and Protection of the Coastal Zone (CN-COS) Department, Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) Italy, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5273-2914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcelo Enrique","family":"Conti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5431-6399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Pacella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sense Organs, Sapienza University of Rome, Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60492-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2023.120730"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00702-017-1686-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(21)00030-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2007.131045"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","article-title":"Segmented inner plexiform layer thickness as a potential biomarker to evaluate open-angle glaucoma: dendritic degeneration of retinal ganglion cell","volume":"12","author":"Kim EK","unstructured":"Kim EK, Park HL, Park CK.
