Background: Skin biopsy is a potential tool for the premortem confirmation of an α-synucleinopathy. Objective: The aim was to assess the aggregation assay real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) of skin biopsy lysates to confirm isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) as an α-synucleinopathy. Methods: Skin biopsies of patients with iRBD, Parkinson's disease (PD), and controls were analyzed using RT-QuIC and immunohistochemical detection of phospho-α-synuclein. Results: α-Synuclein aggregation was detected in 97.4% of iRBD patients (78.4% of iRBD biopsies), 87.2% of PD patients (70% of PD biopsies), and 13% of controls (7.9% of control biopsies), with a higher seeding activity in iRBD compared to PD. RT-QuIC was more sensitive but less specific than immunohistochemistry. Conclusions: Dermal RT-QuIC is a sensitive method to detect α-synuclein aggregation in iRBD, and high seeding activity may indicate a strong involvement of dermal nerve fibers in these patients. © 2023 The Authors.
