Fecal and Blood Microbial 16s rRNA Gene Alterations in Chinese Patients with Multiple System Atrophy and Its Subtypes

Abstract

We confirmed the alterations of microbial 16s rRNA gene in the feces and blood occurs in Chinese patients with MSA. Microbiota dysbiosis was related to MSA clinical manifestations. Elucidating these differences in microbiomes will be helpful to improve our knowledge of the microbiota in the pathogenesis of MSA.
