When President Putin came down with PD I predicted the Russian scientists would make great progress on our disease. They are not disappointing me. Here they connect a bunch of mutations with their phenotypes. I was especially pleased to learn my mutation is favorable and ambroxyl holds promise.

Thanks for posting a link to real research rather than a news article or PR.

Regarding Putin that appears to be unconfirmed rumor.

Its just a pity the report is written in scientific language which I cannot understand. Is there something we can take or do that will improve our symptoms?

I think it is smart to see if you can be tested (your DNA) to find out if a genetic mutation is the cause of your PD. If so I would tell your Movement specialist . Medicine is getting more personalized and you might have a mutation that has a corrective sequence. They can correct your brain cells possibly.
