PD patients harboring the p.A53T SNCA mutation show evidence of a more severe nigrostriatal denervation, especially evident in the caudate nucleus. The lack of significant differences in the putaminal binding ratios may reflect a floor effect or a true preferential targeting of the caudate terminals in p.A53T SNCA-associated PD. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
