This is an archived file of an event that took place on July 18, 2019.
This month, we replay a popular webinar where our panelists discuss ongoing trials targeting genetic links to Parkinson's (alpha-synuclein, GBA and LRRK2) and how we go from discovering genes to creating precision therapies. Plus, we talk about why you should participate in genetic research even if you don't carry a known Parkinson's genetic mutation.
