Hi All,
I have been sitting on this for a few days because I wanted to see what it entailed. I ran across a request in the PD community to share 29 PD related SNPs and was intrigued, so I sent them on in. I just got the data and supporting research. I don't want to steal his thunder, so I am not sharing data but will attach the Pubmed links supporting his ideas.

He points out some interesting things on the latitude/longitude relation to Vitamin D levels; apparently PD clustered geographically both North and South of equator. Study in Scandinavia shows people who work outdoors less like likely to have PD...and so on.

Here is a link to SNPs and contact info for Shakeall at 23andme.
Oh, and FYI if you are a geek like me and into the SNPs, Mozilla Firefox has a nifty SNPs extension that automatically correlates your genome to what SNPs are on a web page- great for doing research!

Thanks for this, Laura. How does one access the Firefox SNP extension you mentioned? BTW, what is correlated is your genotype, since that is what the SNPs represent.

Thanks for the correction! Believe it or not I do know the difference but mix that up all the time when I write...grrr

The extension can be found the easy way by my link to SNPtips Now if there were only a Chrome version :-\
