Some evidence suggests that the disease is transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance
The symptoms of Parkinsons disease can vary from one person to another. Some signs of parkinsons disease are tremors, slowed motion, shakiness, speech changes and dementia.
Apparently, he was diagnosed after he retired from boxing in 1981. However, some believe he knew he was sick long before that, and so did Don King, when he signed Ali to Fight Larry Holmes in 1980, but i don't know if that's true.
it could be in the recessive form or some genes may be iherited as autosomal dominant form as SNCA and LRRK2
There are a number of examples of neurological diseases. Some of those examples include Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons, and multiple sclerosis, as well as palsy.
Parkinsons Disease affects the motor system. Some of the symptoms are memory loss and mood swings. There are also symptoms like muscle rigidness or tremors. Some other symptoms are also insomnia and drowsiness.
Among the many famous people with PD, one who has greatly increased the public awareness of the disease is the actor Michael J. Fox. Fox was diagnosed in 1991 when he was 30, but kept his condition secret from the public for seven years.[87] He has written two autobiographic books in which his fight against the disease plays a major role,[88] and appeared before the United States Congress without medication to illustrate the effects of the disease.

That is one on the warnings on some of the parkinsons drugs, but we have never had any problems with that.
Some forms of Parkinson's disease are hereditary. You are deemed to be "more at risk" of developing it yourself if your father had it. Your chances of developing it are slim however, so relax; worrying will have no effect on the outcome.
I'm not sure how many case studies there are but my father had a bells palsey episode and then some years later got Parkinsons.
There is still some question about that. People who develop Parkinson's are 6% more likely to come from a family that has at least one member with the disease. Those that come with families with no family members with the disease have a 2% chance of contracting the disease.
