About This Essential Tremor, Movement Disorders Study in Memphis

Background and Rationale Essential tremor (ET) affects over 6 million Americans and approximately 5% of adults over age 60. Patients with ET have a 10-20 times higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to age-matched populations, with approximately 1% converting to PD annually. Post-mortem studies reveal Lewy body pathology in some ET patients, suggesting a subset may have prodromal PD. Current diagnostic tools (DaTscan, SYNTap) are either insufficiently sensitive for early disease, too expensive, or too invasive for routine screening. The Syn-One Test offers a minimally invasive approach to detect phosphorylated α-synuclein (P-SYN) pathology in skin biopsies. Primary Objectives 1. Identify which ET patients have P-SYN pathology indicative of prodromal PD 2. Predict which patients are most likely to phenoconvert to PD

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Age 50-85 years old
Diagnosis of ET as defined by the 2018 MDS Task force paper "1) isolated tremor syndrome of bilateral upper limb action tremor 2) at least 3 years' duration 3) with or without tremor in other locations (e.g., head, voice, or lower limbs) 4) absence of other neurological signs, such as dystonia, ataxia, or parkinsonism." OR
Diagnosis of ET-Plus as stated by the 2018 MDS Task force paper, "Tremor with the characteristics of ET and additional neurological signs of uncertain significance such as impaired tandem gait, questionable dystonic posturing, memory impairment, or other mild neurologic signs of unknown significance that do not suffice to make an additional syndrome classification or diagnosis. ET with tremor at rest should be classified here."
