Thank you. The skin biopsy test is pretty new and it looks for a misfolded protein - a-synuclein-that is seen in Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia and MSA. It’s quite accurate , though not 100%. That was done instead of the DaT scan.
The tremor of Parkinson’s is seen at rest, like if your hand is resting on your thigh , but my husband’s is when he holds his arm out , more like an essential tremor ( during action or movement).

@nova11723 Apparently there is a recently developed skin biopsy test for Parkinson’s and related diseases. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/skin-test-detects-evidence-parkinsons-related-disorders
