These are heterogeneous, large data sets. Most will be from multicenter clinical trials. Subjects may or may not have stored DNA samples. There will be PD-DOC administrative involvement in modifying these databases for optimum sharing, data analyses and data mining.
Note: NINDS has indicated that NINDS-funded principal investigators of clinical or translational research studies in Parkinson’s disease or a related parkinsonian disorder will satisfy NIH requirements for data sharing if they comply with the process for public sharing of data as a Linked Database on the PD-DOC website.
