Researchers at Columbia University are conducting a research project on the inheritance factors of Parkinson's Disease. Their goal is to find a gene or genes which will help discover the causes of Parkinson's disease and give better clues on how to treat the condition. We are looking for families with TWO OR MORE LIVING RELATIVES who have Parkinson's. Responsibilities of participants will include sending us copies of medical records; donating a blood sample; and perhaps being videotaped and examined by a neurologist. In addition, we will need help your help in identifying and contacting your relatives. If you are interested, please contact our study coordinator as follows: Lisa Orvis, M.S.; c/o The Neurological Institute, 710 West 168th Street (Box 26), New York, New York 10032. (Her telephone is 212-305-5779; e-mail is [log in to unmask]) We look forward to hearing from you! robin elliott (exec dir, PDF)
