One of the mutant forms of alpha-synuclein (A53T) fibrillizes more rapidly in vitro than does the wild-type protein, suggesting that a correlation may exist between the rate of in vitro fibrillization and/or oligomerization and the progression of PD, analogous to the relationship between Abeta fibrillization in vitro and familial AD.

The presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein is a prime suspect for contributing to Lewy pathology and clinical aspects of diseases, including Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and a Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease. alpha-Synuclein accumulates in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, and two missense mutations (A53T and A30P) in the alpha-synuclein gene are genetically linked to rare familial forms of Parkinson's disease.
