Currently, only a small fraction of people with Parkinson’s disease receive genetic testingA higher-than-expected prevalence of gene mutations in Parkinson’s disease patients suggests genetic testing should be offered to them more broadly, researchers said on Monday in the medical journal Brain. Genetic profiling performed in more than 8,000 patients of varying races and ethnicities, all with Parkinson's disease, showed 13 percent had a genetic form of the progressive brain disorder, the researchers found. That rate was 18percent in patients with known risk factors, such as an earlier age at onset, Parkinson’s disease in a first-degree relative, or certain ancestry such as Ashkenazi Jewish, Spanish Basque or North African Berber. Among patients with no known risk factors, more than 9 percent had a predisposing genetic mutation. In the meantime, Beck said, anyone with Parkinson’s disease can enroll in the PDGENE study and receive free genetic testing, here: https://www.parkinson.org/advancing-research/our-research/pdgeneration.

There are a lot of events that directly correlate with this lesson, but I’m learning that I don’t need to share absolutely everything. I was scrolling through some old memories on Facebook when I found some photos of my dad and my son. Antique or brand new — if there was a tractor, Luke loved it and dad loved sharing that with him. I wish I could go back and soak in those seemingly small moments for they have become special memories. I hope all of our kids have special memories and lessons learned from the fair this year.

It has now surfaced that the perpetrators of the terror attacks were given assurance of 'bounty' for killing law enforcement personnel and ruling party affiliates. The government ensures that the due process of law would be followed in ensuring accountability and justice for the reported terrorist acts. Three - There has been no single case of 'shoot-at-sight' by the security forces in aid of civil power deployed in the aftermath of the terrorist acts. Four - There has been no case of firing from helicopters during the law enforcement operations, other than for surveillance, rescue of stranded law enforcement personnel at certain locations, and facilitating passage for firefighting vehicles during emergencies. While the APC under question was quickly pulled out of service, the other images of law enforcement transports using UN insignia lacked any evidentiary basis.
