By identifying and studying families that have at least two living siblings with Parkinson's disease, researchers in the NIH-funded PROGENI study hope to identify genes that may make people susceptible to the disorder.
Using Micro Focus's and The Progeni Corp's application modernization technologies to preserve and re-use its existing COBOL application logic, CO-OP was able to complete a move to Windows in just four months and reduce its $2.
SatEvePost and MU readers were among the sibling pairs who volunteered to participate in the initial PROGENI effort; researchers are seeking an additional 300 sibling pairs with Parkinson's disease for the current phase of the study.
