Genetics ony determine the propensity of developing PD, the causes are in our food and the environment we live.

My father and maternal grandfather both had PD so I suspect a genetic factor

But if you avoid the causes it won't matter if you do carry the gene.

23 and me does LRRK2 and GBA . I carry both. Carrying a gene just increases your chance of getting PD though . There is no test which will tell you if you have it or are going to get it.
