Parkinson's disease affects 3% of population over 65 years old, and the average age of onset is 60. Regarding juvenile Parkinson, which represents the rest of all Parkison's cases, the disease begins before 40 years old. Now, a group of researchers has deciphered the molecular mechanism by which a mutation of the adenosine type 1 receptor gene is associated with juvenile Parkinson's.
