For those of us who think we really don't have PD ( I blame my symptoms on listening to too much Rock & Roll as a teenager), here's an interesting bit about research into a PD test: "Trevigen, a private Maryland-based corporation, is developing advanced clinical diagnostic tests and high throughput drug screening assays based on innovative methods for the detection of DNA mutations. Trevigen's products are marketed to basic biomedical and preclinical researchers investigating genomic alterations. Trevigen is developing screening assays for the detection of apoptosis, or programmed cell death which plays a role in certain neurodegenerative disorders (such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease), and has agreed to evaluate ABS' neurological compounds in this screening assay." -- Jerry Finch The Official PWP Dumpster Gang Hideout http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/
