Parkinson's subtypes and causes in young onset disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at different types of Parkinson's disease, especially in people diagnosed before age 50. It involves a small skin biopsy to help understand what causes the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, or you are a healthy volunteer without Parkinson's.
- If you have Parkinson's, your age at diagnosis is either 50 or younger, or older than 50.
- You agree to have a small skin sample taken (punch biopsy).
- You do not have other parkinsonism types (like multiple system atrophy) or certain autoimmune conditions.

This study is a registry that collects information from people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to better understand the condition, especially in people whose symptoms started by age 50. It may help researchers learn which factors matter most for early-onset PD.
This study is looking to improve how Parkinson’s and related brain conditions are identified and treated sooner. You may be asked to share your health information and provide blood or other samples, and possibly have procedures like a spinal fluid test or a small skin sample.
This study looks at people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, before starting Parkinson’s medicines, to better understand early illness. It may help researchers identify patterns that could guide future treatments.
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.
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects thinking, movement, and brain health differently depending on whether it starts in the brain or the body first. Participants will have tests and scans to track these differences over time.
This study compares people with Parkinson's disease to healthy volunteers, looking at possible links between the gut and Parkinson's. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's (or are a healthy match), you may help researchers understand what causes the disease.
