Understanding the Genetic
Architecture of Parkinson's Disease

The Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) is an ambitious program to genotype >150,000 volunteers around the world to further understand the genetic architecture of Parkinson’s disease (PD). There is still much to learn about genetic risk factors and the path to further understanding requires working collaboratively and openly sharing data, processes, and results.
