PROGENI -
Is There Parkinson’s Disease in your Family?
In a collaborative initiative the Parkinson Study Group (PSG), Indiana University (IU), and other medical institutions in the United States
and Canada are studying genetic and other risk factors which may be important in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
This study, “Parkinson’s Research: The Organized Genetics Initiative”, also known as PROGENI, is being sponsored by the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) and will involve pairs of brothers and sisters throughout North America who are affected, or possibly affected, with PD.
For more information about PROGENI, you may go to: http.//progeni.iu.edu/ or contact Cheryl Halter, MS at 1-888-830-6299 or 1-317-274-5734.
