Scientists have been saying for years that PD is caused when a gene is triggered by an environmental toxin or other bump to the system. If a majority of people (who knows how many of us) have this mutation, then, without knowing the trigger, isn't the likelihood of getting PD just as idiosyncratic as ever?
Is there any information at all on the prevalence of LRRK2 in the population?
