New Research Provides Genetic Clue to Parkinson's Disease
Researchers at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and at Rhode Island Hospital have discovered a gene that appears to be directly linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease in people with a family history of the disease. The gene is one of only a handful linked to Parkinson’s and one of just two genes known to be a common contributor to this degenerative disease, which has no known cause or cure.
