This study is collecting genetic information related to Parkinson's Disease (PD) to help future research. Participants will donate their DNA, which is a special code in our body that makes us unique, after a genetic test. This test will check for specific genes like GBA and LRRK2 that are related to PD. If you join, you’ll find out the results of your genetic test. You must be able to read and sign a form that says you agree to join the study.
- The study requires you to fill out surveys, which can be done online, in person, or on paper.
- You should be someone with Parkinson's, or at risk if your family gets invited.
- You cannot join if you have other similar disorders, blood conditions, or are under 18.
This study is about creating a safe place to store PD-related genetic data. This will help researchers in the future understand PD better and maybe find new treatments. Remember, only people with PD can currently join, and you must be willing to learn your genetic test results.
