NIH News and Events: Scientists find six new genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s. Study shows power of combining big data analysis with cutting-edge genomic techniques, July 27, 2014 

Parkinson’s disease information from the NIH Genetics Home Reference: Most cases result from interaction of environmental and genetic factors.  Approximately 15 percent of people with Parkinson's disease have a family history of this disorder.
