NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Lucigen today announced it has received a $187,000 grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation to study a protein that has been implicated in Parkinson's disease.
A 23andMe and Parkinson's Institute team has tracked down two new risk loci for Parkinson's disease and verified many more through a web-based genome-wide association study involving more than 3,400 cases and nearly 30,000 controls.
The figure comes from a report commissioned by proteomics firm Proteome Sciences, which, like a number of other protein biomarker firms including Quanterix, Rules-Based Medicine, and NextGen Sciences, has made AD a significant focus of its R&D and commercialization efforts.
