The coordinating center for PaGeR is located at the University of Washington and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating the genetic causes of Parkinson's disease by studying families where more than one person has been diagnosed, hoping to identify genes that increase the risk of developing the condition. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You are a member of a family that has at least two living people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - Your family does not have at least two living members diagnosed with Parkinson's disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
