National Parkinson's Awareness Month. We're shining a light on the crucial role genetics plays in understanding and potentially managing Parkinson's Disease (PD).
While many PD cases are considered sporadic, meaning they arise without a clear cause, research reveals a portion have a genetic link where specific gene mutations can increase an individual's risk of developing PD.
Why is this important?
Gene by Gene’s Parkinson’s Hereditary screening can support practitioners to identify a genetic predisposition which can empower:
- Informed decision-making: Understanding the risk can help make informed choices about lifestyle, health monitoring, and future planning.
- Early detection and intervention: Genetic information can contribute to earlier diagnoses, potentially leading to earlier interventions and treatments.
- Participation in research: Genetic testing can open doors to participation in clinical trials and research studies focused on developing targeted therapies.
