The chief scientific officer of the Parkinson’s Foundation discussed what has previously been observed in genetic Parkinson disease and what gaps the PD GENEration initiative may fill.

Only small, nonsignificant improvements were observed in Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale motor scores, though the investigators did not report disease worsening with early treatment.

Researchers developed the biomarker in hopes of simplifying the recent MRPI 2.0 measurement for use in clinical practice.

The chief scientific officer of the Parkinson’s Foundation discussed how the PD GENEration initiative tackles 1 of the greatest unmet needs for patients with Parkinson disease.
