There are two ways in which you can help PROGENI with Parkinson's Disease research. Select one of the options below or to the right to learn more.

Progeni Family Study
Through the involvement of families with 2 or more individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD), this research effort has led to many important advances in our understanding of the role of genetics in PD. Already, more than 1,650 individuals with PD, as well as their family members, have participated in this research study. Potential study participants must either be diagnosed with or have symptoms of PD. In addition, they must also have a family history of PD in other relatives.

PROGENI Cares: Case Control Study
In 2004, the PROGENI study launched a new part of this important research study. We are now recruiting individuals who have PD, regardless of whether or not they have any other family members diagnosed with this devastating disease. Additionally, we are also recruiting "healthy" individuals over the age of 55 to participate in the study as a matched control for someone with PD.
