A form of Parkinson's disease caused by mutations in a gene known as PINK1 has long been labeled rare. But our research shows it's anything but—at least for some populations.

The risk of developing Parkinson's disease is twice as high in men as in women, and new research points to a potential reason ...

One of the world’s leading Parkinson’s disease scientists has warned of a potential pandemic of the neurological condition if research doesn’t “step up” to address the looming crisis.

Mutations in the PINK1 gene are the second most frequent cause of autosomal recessive parkinsonism after Parkin, and can represent a risk factor towards sporadic Parkinson's disease. The PINK1 ...

LJI scientists identify an autoimmune response that may help explain why Parkinson's disease is twice as prevalent in men.
