In this talk, Dr Singleton will discuss the progress made so far in understanding the genetic basis of Parkinson’s disease. He will cover the history of discovery from the first identification of disease causing mutations to the state of knowledge in the field today, more that 20 years after that initial discovery. He will then discuss current initiatives and the promise of these for informing the understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Lastly, Dr Singleton will talk about current gaps in research and knowledge and working together to fill these.
