Parkinson Disease study with SNP Genotypes (Array) data on dbGaP (268 participants)

phs002328 — International Genetics of Parkinson Disease Progression (IGPP)    Consortium: EPIPARK and HBS2 Cohorts

<p>EPIPARK and HBS2 cohorts were analyzed as part of the International Genetics of Parkinson Disease Progression (IGPP) Consortium. EPIPARK is a population-based cohort to study non-motor symptoms in parkinsonism in the city of Lübeck, Germany led by Drs. Meike Kasten and Christine Klein. HBS2 is a recently enrolled subset of participants in the Harvard Biomarkers Study led by Dr. Clemens Scherzer (<a href="www.bwhparkinsoncenter.org/biobank">www.bwhparkinsoncenter.org/biobank</a>) of 89 participants with a diagnosis of Parkinson Disease (PD). Genotyping with Illumina Infinium Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Arrays (MEGA chip) was performed by Dr. Scherzer, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. 179 participants with a diagnosis of PD from EPIPARK and 89 participants with a diagnosis of PD from HBS2 met Q/C criteria were analyzed.</p>
