Automated classification of neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging in a clinical setting
ABSTRACTBackgroundSeveral studies have shown that machine learning algorithms using MRI data can accurately discriminate parkinsonian syndromes. Validation under clinical conditions is missing.ObjectivesTo evaluate the accuracy for the categorization of parkinsonian syndromes of a machine learning algorithm trained with a research cohort and tested on an independent clinical replication cohort.Methods361 subjects, including 94 healthy controls, 139 patients with PD, 60 with PSP with Richardson’s syndrome, 41 with MSA of the parkinsonian variant (MSA-P) and 27 with MSA of the cerebellar variant (MSA-P), were recruited. They were divided into a training cohort (n=179) scanned in a research en…
Automated Categorization of Parkinsonian Syndromes Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in a Clinical Setting
Background Machine learning algorithms using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data can accurately discriminate parkinsonian syndromes. Validation in patients recruited in routine clinical practice is missing. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a machine learning algorithm trained on a research cohort and tested on an independent clinical replication cohort for the categorization of parkinsonian syndromes. Methods Three hundred twenty-two subjects, including 94 healthy control subjects, 119 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), 51 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) with Richardson's syndrome, 35 with multiple system atrophy (MSA) of the parkinsoni…
Large-scale replication and heterogeneity in Parkinson disease genetic loci
Objective: Eleven genetic loci have reached genome-wide significance in a recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in Parkinson disease (PD) based on populations of Caucasian descent. The extent to which these genetic effects are consistent across different populations is unknown. Methods: Investigators from the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson9s Disease Consortium were invited to participate in the study. A total of 11 SNPs were genotyped in 8,750 cases and 8,955 controls. Fixed as well as random effects models were used to provide the summary risk estimates for these variants. We evaluated between-study heterogeneity and heterogeneity between populations of different ances…
