I had to highlight that this was shared at the WPC and the researcher stated:

"I think it is about time we brought genetics into the design of clinical trials for Parkinson's disease," she told Reuters.

Finally! Someone starting to see the big disconnect between genetic research and trials. I think genetics is largely why we experience this so differently and explain the varied treatment responses.

The last sentence of the article is disappointing for the misinformation:

Parkinson's is a fatal and incurable brain disease that affects 1 to 2 percent of people over the age of 65.

I will try to add a comment to ask them to correct the info.

Thanks for this article, Soccertese. The genetic aspect of disease and treatment is eventually going to become standard for treating patients, IMHO.
