Preliminary Findings on Proline-Rich Protein 14 as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Parkinson's Disease.

ABSTRACT: The nuclear envelope component proline-rich protein 14 (PRR14) is involved in the nuclear morphological alteration and activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway, and has been repeatedly shown to be upregulated in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to explore whether PRR14 can be used as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of PD. We compared PRR14 expression in PD patients and normal controls in gene expression omnibus (GEO) data. Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect PRR14 expression in PD patients and age- and sex-matched controls. The relationship between serum PRR14 and clinical phenotype was evaluated using correlation analysis and logistic regression. The expression of PRR14 in whole
