Does parkinson disease run in the family?


Does parkinson disease run in the family?

Parkinson's does not "run in the family" but if you have one (or more) relatives with it, there is a minimal chance you will get it. There may be a genetic link but, so far, there is no actual proof.

Since I have no idea how much you would like to know about the disease, if you'd like to know more, please visit the Parkinson's Organization link:
