BackgroundThe cerebrospinal fluid alpha-synuclein seed amplification assay (CSFasynSAA) detects alpha-synuclein aggregation in over 90% of individuals with sporadic PD (sPD). However, the clinical characteristics of sPD with negative CSFasynSAA remain undefined.ObjectivesDescribe clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of CSFasynSAA-negative sPD individuals in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).MethodsWe identified sPD PPMI participants with a negative CSFasynSAA (SAA-, n = 80) or positive CSFasynSAA (SAA+, n = 856) result at baseline. For comparative analysis between groups, we used a reduced dataset (n = 79 SAA- and n = 237 SAA+) propensity-score matched on age, sex, and time since clinical diagnosis. Clinical parameters, dopamine transporter-single photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain volumetrics were analyzed.ResultsThe SAA- and matched SAA+ groups had similar motor performance on the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III) and similar cognitive performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline. The proportion with severe hyposmia was 12% for SAA- versus 73% for SAA+ (P ConclusionsAt baseline, SAA- sPD PPMI participants have a substantially lower rate of hyposmia, but otherwise cannot be readily distinguished from SAA+ participants based on clinical characteristics. However, SAA- participants have a greater degree of subcortical brain atrophy, and approximately one out of seven SAA- participants received a change in diagnosis. © 2026 The Author(s).
