GDNF and Cognitive impairment: Recent studies have shown that high levels of serum/plasma α-Syn and low levels of serum glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), miRNA-29s (miR-29s), vitamin D, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be involved in the cognitive impairment of PD-MCI and PDD patients (Bougea et al., 2020; Han L. et al., 2020; Liu Y. et al., 2020; Santangelo et al., 2020).
