You may be eligible to receive genetic counseling and testing at no cost to determine if you qualify to participate in PPMI.

PPMI is seeking individuals of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish ancestry who:

Have Parkinson's disease (PD)
Do not have PD but have a first-degree relative with PD and are age 45 or older
Have Gaucher disease
Do not have Gaucher disease but have a first-degree relative with Gaucher and are age 45 or older
