Parkinson's Disease
Treatment and Research - Research
One of the most exciting areas of Parkinson's research is genetics.
Studying the genes responsible for inherited cases can help
researchers understand both inherited and sporadic cases of the
disease. Identifying gene defects can also help researchers
understand how Parkinson's occurs, develop animal models that
accurately mimic the death of nerve cells in humans, identify new
approaches to drug therapy, and improve diagnosis.
