While the exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is unknown, the development of the condition is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors. Doctors have identified how mutations in some genes can be passed down through generations and may lead to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects the brain, particularly the areas that control movement and balance. It can cause worsening neurological changes that often start with tremors and muscle rigidity. It also increases a person’s risk of depression and dementia.
