Parkinson’s Families Project for people with family links
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This project is for people age 16 and older who have Parkinson’s (or similar symptoms called parkinsonism). It focuses on people with a family history and/or symptoms that started before age 45, to better understand Parkinson’s in families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease or parkinsonism
- You are 16 years of age or older
- You have either a close family member with Parkinson’s/parkinsonism, or your symptoms started before age 45
- Your family member is a first- or second-degree relative (like parent, sibling, or grandparent/uncle/aunt-level link depending on the family tree)

This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand why Parkinson’s happens and could guide future prevention or treatments.
This study builds a genetics “registry” of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease who agree to genetic testing. Your information may help researchers understand why Parkinson’s happens and improve future treatments.
This study uses advanced genetic testing (genome and RNA sequencing) to find the genetic causes of Parkinsonism that starts before age 40 or runs in families. If you join, you will provide a blood sample and a small skin biopsy to help researchers understand your condition better.
This study looks at how changing certain factors over time relates to symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. You may help researchers by completing longer online surveys every 6 months for 5 years.
This trial is a research registry that collects health and family information from people with Parkinson’s disease (and sometimes their close relatives). It may help doctors better understand how Parkinson’s runs in families.
This study follows people with Parkinson’s disease, certain Parkinson-like conditions, and some people at higher risk. It helps researchers learn how these illnesses start and progress, which may lead to better earlier detection and care.
