Ongoing, Web-Based Genome-Wide Association Studies for Targeted Disease Initiatives
The purpose of this study is to examine how genes and environment affect risk for Parkinson's
disease.
disease.
23andMe has created a web-based Parkinson's research initiative to understand the genetic
associations found between Parkinson's patients' DNA and their disease. To learn more, visit:
https://www.23andme.com/pd/. You can participate in this research initiative without leaving
home. If you are eligible to participate, we will send you an in-home 23andMe DNA kit at no
cost. We will ask you short online surveys (15-20) about your Parkinson's journey, symptoms,
and response to treatment. Enrollment is on-going and open to individuals who have been
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and are residents of the U.S. Participants receive access
to ancestry information and uninterpreted genetic data. Participants will also receive
regular updates on our research efforts and findings.
