Fibroblasts for Parkinson’s Disease Research

Notification of availability of fibroblasts for Parkinson’s Disease Research:

NINDS is creating a fibroblast resource for Parkinson’s Disease Research which will be available through the NINDS repository at Coriell.  The first fibroblast line available for distribution carries a synuclein triplication mutation.  Additional fibroblast lines carrying autosomal recessive and dominant mutations associated with Parkinson’s Disease, as well as fibroblasts from idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease cases and age-matched control subjects will be available through the NINDS repository over the next 18 month period.
