Because these diseases have different prognoses and treatments, it is desirable to diagnose them early and accurately. However, it is difficult to accurately diagnose these diseases by clinical symptoms because symptoms such as muscle rigidity, postural dysreflexia, and dementia sometimes overlap among these diseases. The process of conformational conversion and aggregation of \u03b1-syn has been thought similar to that of abnormal prion proteins that cause prion diseases. In recent years,<jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>conversion methods, such as real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC), have been developed. This method has succeeded in amplifying and detecting trace amounts of abnormal prion proteins in tissues and central spinal fluid of patients by inducing conversion of recombinant prion proteins<jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic>shaking. Additionally, it has been used for antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases. Recently, aggregated \u03b1-syn has also been amplified and detected in patients by applying this method and many clinical studies have examined diagnosis using tissues or cerebral spinal fluid from patients. In this review, we discuss the utility and problems of \u03b1-syn RT-QuIC for antemortem diagnosis of \u03b1-synucleinopathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2021.703984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]],"date-time":"2021-09-28T06:47:05Z","timestamp":1632811625000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Development of \u03b1-Synuclein Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion as a Diagnostic Method for \u03b1-Synucleinopathies"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Takehiro","family":"Nakagaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noriyuki","family":"Nishida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katsuya","family":"Satoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"406","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000000641","article-title":"Low clinical diagnostic accuracy of early vs advanced Parkinson disease: clinicopathologic study.","volume":"83","author":"Adler","year":"2014","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"895","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.28399","article-title":"Immunohistochemical Detection of Synuclein Pathology in Skin in Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinsonism.","volume":"36","author":"Al-Qassabi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mov.
