Researchers have discovered new evidence that Parkinson's disease may have an infectious or autoimmune origin.
Parkinson’s Disease - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by progressive dopamine brain cells loss. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are correctable to an extent.

In the study, researchers detected a new association with the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) region, which contains a large number of genes related to immune system function in humans.
HLA genes are essential for recognizing foreign invaders from the body's own tissues.
The Part Played by Gene Variant in Parkinson's Discovered
Scientists in the U.S. have uncovered the part played by a tiny, gene-ontrolling snippet of RNA in Parkinson's disease.

Certain variants of the genes are associated with increased risk or protection against infectious disease, while other variants can induce autoimmune disorders in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues.

Parkinson's Diesease - How and Why
A molecular pathway that causes the death of key nerve cells whose loss triggers off Parkinson's disease had been identified by scientists.

Pursuing the connection between Parkinson's disease and inflammation, especially in the context of variable genetic makeup, may lead to better, more selective drugs for treating Parkinson's disease.

Sleep Disorder - Early Warning Signal of Parkinson's Disease
Dementia or Parkinson's disease could have had an early warning signal through sleep disorders, even fifty yars before they are diagnosed, states a new study.
