Shared functional microbiome signatures in Parkinson's disease and constipation predominate irritable bowel syndrome despite taxonomic divergence
Highlights
•
PD microbiome shows specific taxonomic and functional changes, not large-scale differences when compared to controls.
•
IBS-C and PD share similar functional microbiome profiles, suggesting metabolic outputs may drive overlapping GI symptoms.
•
Constipation in PD may be linked to localized immune activation rather than broad immune shifts.
