Parkinson’s Research: The Organized Genetics Initiative (PROGENI) is a research effort between the Parkinson Study Group (a group of neurologists from throughout the United States Canada and Puerto Rico), Indiana University School of Medicine, University of Rochester, and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. These groups seek to identify genetic and other risk factors which may be important in the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study is sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
