The Parkinson's Disease NeuroGenebank at Scripps Clinic Registry

The Parkinson's Disease NeuroGenebank at Scripps Clinic Registry

By creating a neurogenebank from Parkinson's disease patients' blood donations we will ultimately be able to define genes for Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions.

• Able to understand and grant informed consent or have a legal representative/ guardian who is able to do so

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient has been previously enrolled in The Parkinson's Disease NeuroGenebank at Scripps Clinic Registry
• If a blood draw would be contraindicated for any reason
• Has a significant chronic medical condition (i.e. CVA, hepatic encephalopathy) which, in the investigator's option, may interfere with the patient's optimal participation in the study
• Treatment with any investigational agents or devices within 30 days preceding enrollment in the study
