PROGENI


Are there any members who have signed up for or wish to participate in the
PROGENI study?

 PROGENI stands for " Parkinson's Research: The Organized Genetics
Initiative." Participation requires that families have at least one or more
living siblings with PD. Eligible PWP will complete some questionnaires and
contribute blood samples for extraction of DNA.

This is an ongoing collaborative effort by the Parkinson Study Group,
neurologists from the U.S. and Canada,  and is sponsored by NIH. Working
through a number of universities (Indiana, Ohio State, Emory, and others),
they are helping  solve the PD genetic puzzle.

I spoke to one of the investigators this morning and they are still seeking
volunteers.

If any of you are interested in learning more about the project, you can
reach PROGENI staff in the U.S. at 1-888-830-6299, in Canada at
1-317-274-5734  or email chalter@xxxxxxxx
