Parkinson's Disease
Frequently Asked Questions
8. Is Parkinson's disease
hereditary?
Although some Parkinson's disease cases appear to be hereditary,
and a few can be traced to specific genetic mutations, most cases
are sporadic. Sporadic means the disease occurs randomly and does
not seem to run in families. Many researchers now believe that
Parkinson's disease results from a combination of genetics and
environmental factors.
