I was impressed by a talk given by somebody with both a PhD and medical qualifications. He made the point that PD, like cancer, is not "one disease" - rather it, like cancer, is a multitude of conditions with some clinical signs in common.
He argued that, because of this, it will be necessary to tailor a (possibly unique) combination of treatment modalities for each individual with those clinical signs - working out how to do this will not be an easy job.

had many discussions on this board about at least 2 types of PD, tremor dominant and non motor function dominant named PIGD by certain people.
Tremor dominant was best as progressed more slowly. PIGD people ended up with a tremor over the years and quicker progression so a double whammy there.
From my experience and my Neuros age of PWP seems to differentiate the symptoms more than expected.
Take care,
