The Parkinson’s Foundation has expanded its PD GENEration study, a national initiative that offers no-cost genetic testing and counseling to those with Parkinson’s disease, to 23 actively enrolling participant sites.
The study goal is to improve PD care by accelerating and supporting research to advance treatments and personalized medicine.
“For nearly two decades, PD genetic research boomed, but testing was often done in research rather than clinical settings, and results were not shared with participants,” Roy Alcalay, MD, MS, principal investigator of the study, said
