Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with Parkinson's disease to see if proteins in colon samples can help diagnose the condition earlier. Participants will have a colonoscopy as part of their regular check-up for colon cancer or other gut problems.

About This Trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether tissue samples taken from the colon during routine colonoscopy can detect signs of Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can doctors find a protein called alpha-synuclein in colon tissue samples from people with Parkinson's disease?
Currently, Parkinson's disease is diagnosed by observing symptoms like tremors and mo…
