Scientists hunt genetic clues to early Parkinson's

NCT ID NCT02511015

Summary

This study aimed to understand the genetic causes of early-onset Parkinson's disease, which begins before age 50. Researchers collected blood and skin samples from 31 participants with the condition and their healthy family members to analyze genes and grow cells in the lab. The goal was to learn how specific genetic changes might lead to the disease, which could help guide future treatment development.
