Why do some people have Parkinson's disease early in life?


The average age of onset of Parkinson's disease is age 60,.....but, 10% of the U.S. population get diagnosed with the disease before age 60.

I was diagnosed with it at age 21 and no one has been able to give me a straight answer to this question... I have what is known as a juvenial onset parkin mutation, but it's pretty rare. You also need to think of what an average is... If a person is diagnosed at 40 and another at 80, the average is still 60 yrs old.

Uh genetics ... Doncha think ?
