What is the future of PD Genetics?
PD Online member Dr. Andrew Singleton (NIH/NIA) poses the following questions to start this discussion about the future of PD genetics:
-
What will be the impact of the $1000 genome on PD genetics and what are the roadblocks to success?
- Can we presently understand gene and environment interactions? Will new technologies reveal the interface between genetics and the environment?
- Is there a role for somatic mutation in Parkinson's disease?
- What are the ethical considerations as we approach a more complete understanding of the genetic and epigenetic architecture of PD?
- What would you do with a billion dollars earmarked for genetic research?
