Brief Summary:
This study compares a comprehensive panel of immunological biomarkers between Parkinson's disease patients and healthy, environmentally matched participants. This unique study design provides the ability to control for differences in environment between study subjects. The goal of this study is to 1) identify a specific set of immunological markers that correlate with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and 2) stratify patients by disease severity using these same biomarkers.
