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".

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
