The Parkinson's Genetic Research Study (PaGeR)
This observational study, called The Parkinson's Genetic Research Study (PaGeR), is looking for genes that might increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) and related conditions. Researchers are focusing on families where two or more living members have been diagnosed with PD. The study aims to find new PD genes by studying these families. You can join if you are over 18 and are part of a family with two or more living individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The study is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and is currently recruiting up to 5000 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 5000 participants. It is focusing on families with multiple members diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- What's involved
- You will complete a questionnaire, an interview, a neurological exam, a short memory test, and have a blood draw. This usually takes between one and two hours.
- Compensation
- There is no cost to participate.
- Follow-up
- Not specified.
