Study Summary

This study (https://pdrisk.ninds.nih.gov) will determine if people who have risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD) have biomarkers (objective ways to measure a disease process) that show that the disease process is actually going on, and if people who have abnormal biomarkers go on to develop PD during several years of follow-up. Biomarkers of Parkinson disease (PD) might identify people who are healthy now but may develop the disease later in life. Healthy volunteers and people who have certain risk factors for developing PD who are between 18 and 70 years of age may be eligible for this study. People with the following risk factors are included: * Family history of PD * Loss of sense of smell * Fall in blood pressure when standing up * REM behavior disorder (a type of sleep disturbance) Participants undergo the following tests and procedures: * Screening examination * Medical and neurological history and physical examination * Tests or rating scales for movement, sense of smell, mood, attention, fatigue, pain, and thinking. * Measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate while lying down and then standing up * Blood draw for genetic testing * Inpatient testing at the NIH Clinical Center for 2-3 days, including: * Measurements while blowing against a resistance * Measurements of blood pressure and pulse rate * Blood draws for levels of various chemicals * PET and MRI scanning * Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) * Electrocardiogram * Skin electrical conduction test (test of sweat production) * Skin and core temperature measurements * Transcranial ultrasound (sound-wave test of the head) * Follow-up testing (up to five visits in 18-month intervals) to repeat some of the tests listed above, excluding the genetic testing and spinal tap

Primary Outcome

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether among people at increased statistical risk for developing PD those with clinical laboratory biomarkers of central or cardiac catecholamine deficiency are diagnosed with PD during follow-up, whereas those without evidence of central or peripheral catecholamine deficiency are not diagnosed with PD during follow-up.
