Read our Parkinson's Disease research guide →This study is building a central genetic database for Parkinson's disease by collecting DNA samples and genetic testing results from people with the condition. Researchers will test your DNA for several genes known to be related to Parkinson's disease, including GBA, LRRK2, SNCA, VPS35, and others. Your genetic information will be stored and made available to researchers around the world to help them better understand the disease.
Scientists know that genetics play a role in Parkinson's disease, but they need a large collection of genetic data to discover new patterns and develop better treatments. This study creates a shared resource that researchers can access to accelerate progress in understanding who is at risk and how to help patients.

You will undergo genetic testing and have your DNA sample collected, likely through a blood draw at a clinic or testing facility. You will be asked to complete surveys about your health and medical history, which you can do online, on paper, or in person. Your genetic data and DNA sample will then be stored in a central database for future research use by scientists studying Parkinson's disease.
