Mayo Clinic study unveils unprecedented method to predict ALS, Parkinson's disease

A new Mayo Clinic study identified several gene variations that predict people at high risk for ALS and Parkinson's disease. The researchers found a high-risk prediction factor for ALS (2,000 times greater than average) and for Parkinson's disease (nearly 400 times greater than average).

Mayo Clinic researchers use 'genomic pathway' to predict Parkinson's

A new study from Mayo Clinic researchers reveals that the joint effects of common DNA variations in several genes within a well-defined biological pathway largely explain why some people develop Parkinson’s disease. The findings also predict with great accuracy at what age people might develop their first symptoms.
