Genetics Study Hits Enrollment Milestone
The Parkinson’s Foundation has reached a significant milestone with the recruitment, genetic testing and counseling of 7,500 participants in its international study, PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease. Currently at 50% of its recruitment goal of 15,000, the study includes 36 participant sites, over 50 referral sites and has expanded to Canada – while still offering home testing – as part of the Foundation’s commitment to increasing access to Parkinson’s disease (PD) research.
