The MJFox foundation and 23andme is doing research on PD and genetics. They are asking us with PD to help out by having our DNA tested and by participating in a few questions about our PD. All this is free. please help by participating now. Thanks!

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member very interesting. They said in the information that I would get my genetic make up. I just sent it in, will keep you posted. Even if we don't receive our information if it helps in PD research I will be happy I participated.

I have my DNA done with 23 and me. My grandmother, my mother, myself and my daughter have Parkinson's . And so does my brother . Do any of you have an inherited Factor

Maybe it is because of Monsanto and the hormones in our food. Just a thought...

Hi, I didn't need DNA to tell me that there is a great possiblity that PD is inherited...maybe just a weak gene somewhere in my background. 23 and me are doing the researc and they are working with my background and my DNA and yours too, if you want..
