The Study
PEG is a seventeen-year study of the links between Parkinson's disease, the Environment and Genes.
It is a collaboration between the UCLA School of Public Health, the UCLA Movement Disorder Clinic in the Neurology Dept., UCLA Human Genetics, and most importantly local health care providers in Kern, Fresno, and Tulare counties in California.
Funded by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the PEG study is the first largely federally funded Parkinson's disease study to focus on rural populations.
