Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This proposal seeks to 1) determine whether there are biomarkers associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility and/or progression in exosome-proteomes derived from PD patients versus controls, and 2) to determine if LRRK2 expression and/or phosphorylation are significantly lowered in the exosomes of individuals treated with the potent LRRK2 kinase inhibitor sunitinib (a multi-kinase inhibitor compound), to establish an assay for on-target effects for future LRRK2 inhibitor clinical trials.

Parkinson's Disease

1\) the presence of bradykinesia and either rest tremor or rigidity; 2) asymmetric onset; 3) progressive motor symptoms 4) age at onset 21-99 years.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy Control

Exclusion Criteria

For all subjects:

include atypical features indicative of a Parkinson-Plus disorder (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD)) including cerebellar signs, supranuclear gaze palsy, apraxia and other cortical signs, or prominent autonomic failure, neuroleptic treatment at time of onset of parkinsonism, active treatment with a neuroleptic at time of study entry, History of repeated strokes with stepwise progression of parkinsonism, history of repeated head injury, history of definite encephalitis, prominent gait imbalance early in the course (\< 5 years), dementia, known severe anemia (hematocrit \<30), history of kidney disease and/or current or past glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<60 possibly indicative of kidney disease, or a serious comorbidity that may interfere with participation in the study.
