Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Families Project

The researchers aim to understand more about the genetics of Parkinson's in order to develop better tests and medications that could help slow, stop or prevent Parkinson's.

Who

1000 people with Parkinson’s with either early onset before the age of 45, a familial diagnosis or who carry a known gene change associated with Parkinson's.

What

You will be invited to your nearest study centre to give consent and donate a blood sample for genetic analysis. You may also be asked to complete questionnaires and other assessments of your movement.

For more information, please read the Participant Information Sheet.
