Parkinson Disease in Twins

27 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: The cause of Parkinson disease (PD) is unknown. Genetic linkages have been identified in families with PD, but whether most PD is inherited has not been determined. OBJECTIVE: To assess genetic inheritance of PD by studying monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs. DESIGN: Twin study comparing concordance rates of PD in MZ and DZ twin pairs. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 19842 white male...
