Parkinson's disease, urgent !!!?


15%--25% of the patients of Parkinson's disease inherited from their relatives,my GRANDMOTHER had it at the age of 74 ,then my FATHER has it now at the age of 55, will i inherit the Gene too? Doctor told me that it's more likely: the female passed it to a male, and then a male passed it to a female,which means i won't inherit this disease,right?

It doesn't mean you won't inherit it but it doesn't mean you will.
I strongly recommend you get on the mailing list (it's free) of Barrow Nuerological Institute they have the BEST parkinsons center in the US, they keep you up to date on all the latest research information. And they are part of the Muhammed Ali Parkinsons Center.

Contact the National Parkinson's Foundation (1-800-327-4545; www.parkinson.org). You can find centers specializing in PD near you. I've had PD for 8 yrs - I'm 54. I took part in a PD study for 7 yrs. The drug was finally approved by the FDA and my PD remains stable. I work full-time. Good luck! Report It

if it is on the X chromosome, you will not get it from your father. you got his Y chromosome.

however no one knows for sure the causes of parkinsons, i dont think that anyone has isolated the gene.
