PARKIN 2 type of PD?

Ozzy Osbourne has been giving interviews saying that he has a mild form of PD called Parkin 2. I did not know that a mild form of PD existed. Does anyone here know more about this subtype? :

This article refers to Parkin 2 as the gene itself, but the Osbourne family has given other interviews in which they actually call Ozzy's type of PD by the name of "Parkin 2" and "P2".

As usual, Ozzy doesn't know what he's talking about.

"A mild form of PD." Oh, please. Its called 'newly diagnosed.'

I think his PD is of the subcategory YoBM (Years of Bad Music.)

He was diagnosed because of a fall, then got COVID, but the really bad new is he wants to get back into the studio to release more "music."

I presume he is referring to PD caused by an abnormality in the Parkin 2 gene. This is less common than Lark2 gene and is why I ask age at diagnosis because there are different disease trajectories according to disease type. As this reports, “The disease is slowly progressive: disease duration of more than 50 years has been reported. “ This would be why Ozzie is reported to describe his form of disease as a mild form
