In other words, co-incidental Lewy bodies are not acceptable if they occur in an individual with another major pathologic process that could account for parkinsonism. Given that the age of many individuals to be included in the study is advanced, it is acceptable to have some age-related pathologies, such as cerebrovascular disease or argyrophilic grains.&lt;/p> &lt;p>&lt;b>MINIMAL PATHOLOGICAL INCLUSION CRITERIA:&lt;/b>&lt;/p> &lt;p> &lt;ol> &lt;li>&lt;b>There must be moderate-to-severe substantia nigra neuronal loss.&lt;/b>&lt;/li> &lt;li>&lt;b>There must be Lewy bodies.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> Ideally, Lewy bodies will have been assessed with a sensitive method for their detection, such as immunohistochemistry for &amp;#945;-synuclein or ubiquitin, but if Lewy bodies were readily detected with routine histological methods, such as hematoxylin and eosin stains, the case meets minimum criteria for presence of Lewy bodies.&lt;/li> &lt;li> &lt;b>There must be minimal Alzheimer type pathology.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> In an effort to exclude genetic factors that associate with Alzheimer&amp;#39;s disease, only cases in which Alzheimer type pathology has been evaluated and only those that meet criteria 3a and 3b are acceptable. &lt;ol type="a"> &lt;li>&lt;b>Neuritic plaques must be no more than sparse in the neocortex.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> Neuritic plaques are defined according to the CERAD criteria, which requires assessment with either an appropriate silver stain or thioflavin S fluorescent microscopy. This criterion does not exclude cases with diffuse, non-neuritic plaques, which may be frequent, as long as the case also meets criterion 3b.&lt;/li> &lt;li>&lt;b>Neurofibrillary tangle stage must be no more than Stage IV.&lt;/b>&lt;/li> &lt;/ol> &lt;/li> &lt;/ol> &lt;/p> &lt;p>&lt;b>&lt;u>MINIMAL CLINICAL CRITERIA - CONTROLS&lt;/u>&lt;/b>&lt;/p> &lt;p>&lt;b>There must be NO antemortem clinical diagnosis of parkinsonism.&lt;/b>&lt;/p> &lt;p>&lt;b>PATHOLOGICAL CRITERIA:&lt;/b>&lt;/p> &lt;p> &lt;ol> &lt;li>&lt;b>There must be NO OR MILD substantia nigra neuronal loss.&lt;/b>&lt;/li> &lt;li>&lt;b>There must be NO LEWY BODIES in all brain regions examined.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> Given the uncertainty of Lewy bodies as a biomarker for PD and wishing not to dilute the power of genetic association, presence of Lewy bodies in any region, including olfactory bulb, autonomic nervous system and the amygdala is an exclusion criterion.&lt;/li> &lt;li> &lt;b>There must be minimal Alzheimer type pathology.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> In an effort to exclude genetic factors that associate with Alzheimer&amp;#39;s disease, only cases in which Alzheimer type pathology has been evaluated and only those that meet criteria 3a and 3b are acceptable. &lt;ol type="a"> &lt;li>&lt;b>Neuritic plaques must be no more than sparse in the neocortex.&lt;/b>&lt;br/> Neuritic plaques are defined according to the CERAD criteria (see figure), which requires assessment with either an appropriate silver stain or thioflavin S fluorescent microscopy.
