The LRRK2 Gene

6 years ago•0 Replies

As some of you know, they have identified a GENETIC link to Parkinson's

Only a small percentage have it. Michael J Fox foundation & 23 & Me have a program to identify those with it.

What is remarkable to me is that ADD/ADHD, Tourettes, OCD, Restless leg, & PD are connected to this gene.

Here are some recent research they are doing.
