"Since I've had Parkinson's disease, I've learned that there's not enough research going on within the black community for people with PD," says James Higgins. "Simply put, we’re different, our genes are different. Our genetic make-up is unique compared to white people and other backgrounds. Which is why I signed up for the Parkinson’s Foundation genetics study, PD GENEration." 📖 Read James' PD Story: https://lnkd.in/gtcuWGXg
