Genetics & Parkinson's
Understanding the role of genetics in Parkinson’s is helping researchers develop new treatments and move closer to a cure. This webinar will review the basics of genetics and Parkinson’s disease (PD) and explore how genetic changes may influence PD risk and how symptoms progress. Learn more about the Parkinson’s Foundation initiative, PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease, and why participation is helping to improve our understanding of PD and contribute to better care for individuals.
