Familial PD is NOT "more vicious" and cause "fall apart faster". There are over a dozen different inherited mutations that cause PD and the severity is different for each.

For example: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articl...

"The estimate (SE) of the rate of change in the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale III motor score per year among those with the LRRK2 mutation (0.689 ... points per year) was less than among those without the mutation (1.056 ... points per year...P = .02)

LRRK2 mutation is the most common inherited form.
