The latest episode of the Parkinson’s Life podcast explores how genetics is transforming Parkinson’s research and care, featuring insights from J Solle, Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) Program Director, alongside guests Rita, a person living with Parkinson’s, and David Dexter of Parkinson’s UK.
J discusses how GP2 is working to expand diversity in Parkinson’s genetics by collecting data from more than 250,000 participants across 70+ countries. This global collaboration is helping researchers uncover insights that reflect the full diversity of the Parkinson’s community. As J notes, “If you do not look in all ancestries, you’re simply going to miss something.”
