"Fecal samples from 20 monozygotic twin pairs (N=40) discordant for PD were studied (metagenomic shotgun analysis). Paired-data analysis detected minimal differences in bacterial taxa abundance at species level"

Does this mean that there is some difference that is not detected by these tests or that something other than the microbiome is responsible?

It says there was a slight difference . Statistically relevant. But they wanted to prove the biome was the culprit and I reckon they proved it wasn’t!

The mystery continues in spite of digestive symptoms sometimes being present.
