米スタンフォード大学在学中にGoogleを立ち上げた[L]Sergey Brin氏が、自身のブログ[too]で、「G2019S」という突然変異因子がみつかり、障害発生率は20〜80%ではあるがパーキンソン病のリスクを抱えていることを告白した。
The exact implications of this are not entirely clear. Early studies tend to have small samples with various selection biases. Nonetheless it is clear that I have a markedly higher chance of developing Parkinson’s in my lifetime than the average person. In fact, it is somewhere between 20% to 80% depending on the study and how you measure. At the same time, research into LRRK2 looks intriguing (both for LRRK2 carriers and potentially for others).
