LB forms of nOH feature cardiac noradrenergic deficiency, olfactory dysfunction, and increased α-syn-TH colocalization in skin biopsies. Combining the data for these variables efficiently separates LB from non-LB nOH. Independently of the clinical diagnosis, this biomarker triad identifies a pathophysiologically distinct cluster of nOH patients.
