My mom was diagnosed with gliblastoma (brain cancer) in 2000. I was diagnosed with PD in 2015, If I understand it correctly, the folloing article indicates both conditions apparently can involve the same set of genes.

I am wondering if I might have inherited PD because my Mom had glioblastoma? Has anyone else had a connection like that?
Although I dont know how much before she was diagnosed with brain cancer that my Mom started to exhibit a puzzling fleeting symptom that has affected me only recently. I cannot figure out to do things or comprehend instruction manuals; things I never gave a second thought to, like folding the laundry rack. My mom stuggled to read the instruction manual and apply what she read to program the VCR. I can feel her frustration now.
