Parkinson's disease is one of a larger group of neurological conditions called motor system disorders. Parkinson's can be crippling or disabling, experts say early symptoms of the disease may be so subtle and gradual that patients sometimes ignore them or attribute them to the effects of aging. Recent developments in gene research has found that genetic influence plays a large role in Parkinson's disease.

The general consensus among researchers is that both genetic influence and environmental factors lead to the onset of Parkinson's Disease. The mechanisms of the genetic influence of Parkinson's Disease are still to be understood and much more research is required.
