Microbiome signature of Parkinson’s disease in healthy and genetically at-risk individuals

Nature Medicine, Published online: 20 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04318-5

Microbiome analysis suggests that gut microbial changes in Parkinson’s disease evolve progressively from healthy individuals to genetically at-risk individuals to clinically affected patients, with the degree of dysbiosis correlating with disease progression.
