I promised to let her have addresses and other details of >current genetics research projects. Hi Hilary, Our list archives (John Cottingham) probably have web sites. The PDF and Rutgers University are probably two sources. The "Human Genome Project" (NSF?) is probably relevant. I published a paper which suggests a common genetic relationship of diabetes and PD, perhaps on the X chromosome, in the Massachusetts Young Parkinson's Newsletter (Young and Restless) in the fall of 1996- Editor is Ken Bernstein, Newton, Mass. I found few PWP's with PD affecting a close relative, but an extraordinarily high incidence of diabetic relatives of PWP's! I think 17 out of 23 PWP's in Maine and nearby New Hampshire fit the model. The Calif Parkinson's INstitute- Carole Cassidy- is another source. JR Bruman can probably help (listmember). He posts abstracts and journal references to our list. Janet Paterson and Judith Richards post scientific news releases and papers to our list. Good luck! Ivan 48/12
